Background

This study documents the characteristics and functioning of fruit and vegetable (FV) value chains in select places in Ethiopia.

Early life nutrition sets the stage for the health, nutrition, and development of young children.

The CGIAR biofortification program, HarvestPlus, was founded with the aim of improving the quality of diets through micronutrient-dense varieties of staple food crops.

Welcome to MoreMilk, a pioneering project led by the International Research Institute and its partners.

Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) need to be evidence-based. As part of the development of Ethiopian FBDG, we conducted an umbrella review to develop dietary recommendations.

Background: Bangladesh is urbanizing rapidly, facing challenges of malnutrition, low coverage and poor quality of urban nutrition services.

Agricultural and food policies are increasingly being tasked with doing more to improve the nutritional status of low-income populations, especially reductions in child stunting.

Development programs often rely on locally hired agents for service delivery, especially for interventions promoting agricultural practices, health, and nutrition.

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.

We conduct a synthetic review of the literature examining relationships between domains of women’s empowerment and food system outcomes.

In many low- and lower-middle-income countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where mixed crop-livestock farming is widely practiced, livestock keeping provides income, food, nutrition and other benefits for the rural poor.

India accounts for a large proportion of the global prevalence of maternal and child undernutrition, and recent trends have renewed the call for large-scale concerted efforts to improve outcomes.

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.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for the largest share of the global disease burden, and increasing evidence shows that zinc deficiency (ZD) contributes to NCDs by inducing oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and impaired lipid metabolis

Background: Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is an effective multi-sectoral approach to address the underlying causes of malnutrition.

Dairy is a high-potential food for addressing child malnutrition in low and middle income countries (LMICs), but consumption varies greatly across LMICs.

Nutrition-specific interventions are aimed at improving the food, health, and care environment for women and children during the first 1000 days.

This Data Note provides an update on the prevalence of anemia and its determinants in India at state and districts levels, as well as coverage of a nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions.
