Background The Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) is a rapid dietary assessment tool designed to enable feasible measuring and monitoring of diet quality at population level in the general public.

The COVID-19 pandemic had negative impacts on nutrition and strained intrahousehold relations, particularly among poorer households.

Farm households in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas continue to rapidly adopt oil palm, often at the expense of rainforests and traditional food crops.

Vietnamese food systems have experienced a transition process since the late 1980s Đổi mới reforms.

Background: The first 2 y of life mark critical changes in children’s diet from milk-based food to diverse food rich in taste and texture, but few studies in low-resource settings have explored the changes in diet quality during this period.

Background
The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.

The large majority of extreme poor in the world lives in fragile states.

Background: One-third of preschool children in Myanmar were stunted in 2015–2016, and three-quarters of children 6–23 mo had inadequate diet diversity.

Background: The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.

Background

Hybrid maize farming has boomed across upland Southeast Asia in the past three decades. Recent studies suggest that the boom has resulted in diverse outcomes across countries.

In the interest of public health, it is important to nudge children toward healthier food choices (e.g., beverages with less added sugar).

Myanmar first experienced the COVID-19 crisis as a relatively brief economic shock in early 2020, before the economy was later engulfed by a prolonged surge in COVID-19 cases from September 2020 onwards.

Background

The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the role of mechanization in agricultural development.

Schools are an attractive entry point to improve children’s diets, as their eating habits can be shaped during childhood and the information disseminated from school can reach adults through children.

Chicken & eggs make important contributions to food & nutrition security of low-income households in Myanmar. What are the impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar's poultry sector?
