New research initiative for healthy diets in Bangladesh (Dhaka Tribune) 

November 10, 2022


Poor-quality diets are associated with all forms of malnutrition-including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight and obesity as well as around 1.1 million premature adult deaths each year. Dhaka Tribune reports on the launch of CGIAR’s Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT). This initiative will work closely with local, national, regional, and global partners, use an innovative consumer-focused perspective on how to increase demand for and access sustainable healthy diets. Senior research fellow Alan de Brauw discussed the linkages between SHiFT and other CGIAR initiatives. Over the next several months, CGIAR researchers will begin to develop connections with existing networks and discuss with stakeholders how their work can add value and contribute to activities, capacity development, and other multisectoral actions supporting the Government of Bangladesh’s food systems transformation agenda. SHiFT builds on CGIAR’s unparalleled track record of agricultural research for development, including ten years of work on food systems and nutrition under the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH).
