Study investigates link between child health and Ethiopian rural markets – New Food (EthioSun)

EthioSun (Ethiopia) published an article on an IFPRI study. Senior Research Fellow and coauthor Derek Headey stated, “Despite some improvements in recent years, the quality of child diets in rural Ethiopia is still shockingly poor, especially in our survey areas where most children just eat basic staples and not much else. But the touted solution to this problem has always been farm-level diversification, with little policy focus or research on the physical markets where even poor people obtain most of their non-staple foods.”
