Biofortification is a feasible and cost-effective means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets and other micronutrient interventions.
This study investigated the effects of social networks on consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for two high-iron bean (HIB) varieties (HIB-A and HIB-B) using data collected from 572 farmers in rural Rwanda.
Increasing urbanization in developing countries creates current and future challenges for the global food system to deliver high quality nutritious foods and provide equitable access for the urban poor.
Several literature reviews have questioned the rigorousness of impact evaluations of nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions.
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, and white- or yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, Ipomoea batatas, are widely grown in Uganda as both food and cash crops.
Micronutrient deficiencies affect more than two billion individuals worldwide, with dire outcomes for human health and productivity.
In this paper, we seek to understand the current structure of the pearl millet seed sector in order to formulate recommendations about how best to position the marketing strategy for soon-to-be-released, high-iron hybrids.
La desnutrición es un problema que afecta el crecimiento, desarrollo y salud en general, especialmente de los niños menores de cinco años y mujeres embarazadas.
Biofortification is a promising strategy to combat micronutrient malnutrition by promoting the adoption of staple food crops bred to be dense sources of specific micronutrients.
A workshop, jointly hosted by the British Nutrition Foundation, HarvestPlus and the UK government’s Department for International Development, was held in May 2018 in London to discuss the potential of introducing biofortified foods into the UK mar
Growing evidence supports the role of preconception maternal nutritional status (PMNS) on birth outcomes; however, evidence of relationships with child growth are limited.
Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition (FA-MCHN) programs may foster child growth during the first 1000 d (pregnancy and the first 2 y of a child's life), but evidence is scant.
Malnutrition is one of the biggest public health challenges of the century with about 2 billion people affected by it globally.
HarvestPlus estimates that 20 million farmers and consumers presently grow and consume biofortified crops in 8 target countries.
