This research examines the suitability of community-based participatory workshops for
developing agricultural activities in order to diversify diets. The study represents the second
phase of a project consisting of a diagnostic phase covering agricultural biodiversity, diets
and nutrition (phase ...

Community-based development of agricultural activities aiming to improve dietary diversity in Western Kenya
Biodiversity is key for human and environmental health. Available dietary and ecological indicators are not designed to assess the intricate relationship between food biodiversity and diet quality. We applied biodiversity indicators to dietary intake data from and assessed associations with diet ...

Dietary species richness as a measure of food biodiversity and nutritional quality of diets
Smallholder agriculture is an important source of livelihoods in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. In these regions the highest concentrations of nutritionally vulnerable populations are found. Agricultural development needs to be nutrition-sensitive, and contribute simultaneously to improving h...

Exploring solution spaces for nutrition-sensitive agriculture in Kenya and Vietnam
Improving infant and young child feeding is an effective intervention to improve child growth. A cross-sectional study followed by observation of selected households was used to establish the most popular foods given to children 12–59 months old in Bukoba and Kiboga districts of Tanzania and Ugan...

Assessing progress towards healthier people, farms and landscapes through nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) requires transdisciplinary methods with robust models and metrics. Farm-household models could facilitate disentangling the complex agriculture-nutrition nexus, by jointly assessing per...

Background: Dietary diversity is a key element of diet quality but diets of women of reproductive age (WRA; 15-49 y) in resource-poor settings are often deficient in a range of micronutrients. Previous work demonstrated relationships between simple food group diversity indicators (FGI) and micron...

Development of a dichotomous indicator for population-level assessment of the dietary diversity of women of reproductive age
The key messages outlined by this chapter are:
Food biodiversity is the diversity of plants, animals and other organisms used for food, both
cultivated and from the wild.
Using food biodiversity to diversify diets is a critical element in response to global malnutrition and towards sustainable...
