Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programmes have the potential to improve child nutrition outcomes, but livestock intensification may pose risks related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions.

Given persistent gender inequalities that influence how the benefits of technologies are distributed, the expansion of small-scale irrigation technologies requires the consideration of important gender dynamics and impacts.

Introduction Stunting or linear growth faltering, measured by length-for-age Z-score (LAZ), remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in rural low-income and middle-income countries.

Background
Inadequate food and water resources negatively affect child health and the efficiency of nutrition interventions.

One Health has been defined as an approach to the pursuit of public health and well-being that recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

The emergence of COVID-19 has drawn the attention of health researchers sharply back to the role that food systems can play in generating human disease burden.

Blue foods play a central role in food and nutrition security for billions of people and are a cornerstone of the livelihoods, economies, and cultures of many coastal and riparian communities.

Looking back at what has effectively improved nutrition may inform policy makers on how to accelerate progress to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030.

Kenya is one of the main producers of tomato within Africa south of the Sahara, with an estimated market value of USD 237 million as of 2012, most of which was produced for the national market (Sibomana et al., 2016).

Given the lack of consensus around how to measure empowerment in WASH, mapping existing indicators to two frameworks frequently used in the empowerment literature illustrates knowledge gaps.

Globally, malnutrition remains unacceptably high, and its burden falls disproportionately on women and girls.

This is the third round of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS).

The Feed the Future Phase One Zone of Influence (ZOI) Endline Survey was implemented by IFPRI through Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) 2018-2019.

The purpose of the US Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) 2018/2019 baseline survey in Bangladesh is to provide the U.S.

Food systems approaches are increasingly used to better understand transitions in diets, sustainable resource use and social inclusion. Moreover, food systems frameworks are also widely used in many recent policy and foresight studies.

Good nutrition is integral to human well-being and to humanity’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Women’s empowerment is important to improve the status of women and achieve greater gender equity. It is also an important vehicle for achieving other development goals related to food security, nutrition, health, and economic growth.

As shown in Chapter 3, fish production appears to be largely clustered and the number of fish farmers, feed traders, and fish traders have all experienced rapid growth since 2008, roughly in the same magnitude.

The majority of literature on aquaculture in Bangladesh focuses on “microsocioeconomics” and “value chains” (VCs) and tends to have a static perspective.
