Introduction: Small indigenous fish species (SIS) can be particularly rich in micronutrients and make a crucial contribution toward improving human nutrition.
In the Indian family setting, women play a crucial role in the overall development of the households. Hence, development agencies and government programs mainly target women, assuming that empowering women would improve families.
Background: Women’s empowerment is one critical pathway through which agriculture can impact women’s nutrition; however, empirical evidence is still limited.
Climate change poses a greater threat for more exposed and vulnerable countries, communities and social groups.
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is the staple cereal and is the primary source of protein for millions of people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
This paper introduces a new framework to quantify costs and benefits for resilience-related outcomes of agricultural innovations targeting smallholder farmers.
In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, considerable dietary shifts, including an increase in the consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) will be required.
Rationale and objective: Improving diet quality while decreasing environmental impacts is an important challenge for a healthy and sustainable food system.
The CGIAR biofortification program, HarvestPlus, was founded with the aim of improving the quality of diets through micronutrient-dense varieties of staple food crops.
Agricultural households, particularly those operating in rainfed systems in low income countries, are vul nerable to a variety of climate and market risks that pose serious threats to their well-being.
Agricultural extension can have important impacts on vulnerable populations by increasing food production, which improves both rural incomes and urban food security.
Background: There is limited evidence from prospective cohorts in low-resource settings on the long-term impact of pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on postpartum weight retention (PPWR) and maternal and child
Poor diet quality has been identified as a primary driver of malnutrition and increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries. Low fruit and vegetable consumption contributes to poor diet quality.
Climatic shocks are exerting pressure on livelihoods of Zimbabwe's smallholder farmer—who irrigate only 2% of their farms.
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest has grown in what kinds of assistance protect household food security during shocks.
Introduction: This article contributes to a better understanding of the context in which agricultural R&D investment takes place in low- and middle-income countries, and how innovation capacity, the development of the food system, and the size
