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.
Viewpoint: Finance needs of the agricultural midstream
Recent literature suggests that agricultural value chains are changing rapidly and places an increasing focus on the importance of actors and activities taking place in the “midstream” of these value chains, after production and prior to final sal

Household dairy production, dairy intake, and anthropometric outcomes in rural Bangladesh
We assess whether ownership of dairy cows is associated with a greater likelihood of consuming dairy products and with child anthropometric status in rural Bangladesh.
Near-real-time welfare and livelihood impacts of an active war: Evidence from Ethiopia
Ethiopia recently experienced a large-scale war that lasted for more than two years.
Background
Zinc-biofortified potatoes have considerable potential to reduce zinc deficiency because of their low levels of phytate, an inhibitor of zinc absorption, and their high consumption, especially in the Andean region of Peru.
Impact of global value chains on tariffs and non-tariff measures in agriculture and food
We analyse whether global value chains (GVCs) reduce trade barriers in the agricultural and food sectors as they affect lobbying and government incentives.
Temporal dietary diversity patterns are associated with linear growth but not ponderal growth in young children in rural Vietnam
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: Bangladesh is urbanizing rapidly, facing challenges of malnutrition, low coverage and poor quality of urban nutrition services.
Growth in milk consumption and reductions in child stunting: Historical evidence from cross-country panel data
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.
Comparing delivery channels to promote nutrition-sensitive agriculture: A cluster-randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh
Ethnicity, information and cooperation: Evidence from a group-based nutrition intervention
Development programs often rely on locally hired agents for service delivery, especially for interventions promoting agricultural practices, health, and nutrition.
Improving diet quality is an emerging development policy priority.
Mongolia’s projected warming is far above the global average and could exceed 5 °C by the end of the century.
Long-term association between maternal preconception hemoglobin concentration, anemia, and child health and development in Vietnam
Background
The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear.
Background
Yellow fleshed potatoes biofortified with iron have been developed through conventional breeding but the bioavailability of the iron is unknown.
