Livelihood implications of dietary shifts to animal-source food alternatives
Although dietary shifts from animal-source foods (ASFs) to alternatives (Alt-ASFs) could considerably affect livelihoods in food supply chains, the effects will likely vary by the type of Alt-ASFs. In this Review we identified 45 studies, including descriptive analysis of the present state of the sector and modelling studies of future trends. Key findings indicate that cell-based foods would likely reduce overall employment opportunities, while f…
Healthy diets are affordable but often displaced by other foods in Indonesia
In places where healthy diets are affordable, other factors may contribute to poor diets. • We use Indonesia as a case study for analyzing economic and behavioral barriers to consumption of healthy diets. • In Indonesia, healthy diets are affordable but not chosen. • Consumption of unhealthy discretionary foods is high for households of all incomes. • Nutrient and food group adequacy are low for households of all incomes. New methods for modeling…
Improving complementary feeding practices, programs and policies for optimal early childhood nutrition in Kenya
Complementary feeding practices are greatly influenced by local contexts. Therefore, national home-grown evidence, policies and guidelines are critical to improving infant and young children's diets. This Special Issue has provided a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of the situation, gaps and context-specific opportunities for improving young children's diets in Kenya. The primary research findings of the Special Issue supported the identif…
Identifying and understanding barriers to optimal complementary feeding in Kenya
Optimal complementary feeding between the ages of 6 and 23 months provides children with the required range of nutritious and safe foods while continuing to be breastfed to meet their needs for essential nutrients and develop their full physical and cognitive potential. The rates of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months of life have increased from 32% in 2008 to 60% in 2022 in Kenya. However, the proportion of children between 6 and 23 mo…
Modelling policies to improve affordability and consumption of nutritious foods for complementary feeding in Kenya
In Kenya 26% of children under age 5 experience stunted growth, 4% are wasted and 11% are underweight. In pregnant women, the prevalence of iron deficiency is 36% and iron-deficiency anaemia prevalence is 26%. Previous studies have identified affordability as a key barrier to the intake of nutrients, particularly from animal-source foods (ASFs). Thus, this study analyzes to what extent the affordability of ASF in Kenya can be improved. It focuses…
Can we estimate the impact of small targeted dietary changes on human health and environmental sustainability
A recent analysis by Stylianou et al. (2021) estimated the impact of small dietary changes in the consumption of individual foods on human health and the environment, expressed as minutes of healthy life lost or gained daily combined with dietary carbon footprints. While an appealing concept given its simplistic interpretation, we aim to draw the attention of nLCA practitioners and developers to the significant limitations and uncertainties of th…
Micronutrient deficiencies among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age worldwide
BACKGROUND: Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, and affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is from over 30 years ago and is based only on the prevalence of anaemia. We aimed to estimate the global and regional prevalence of deficiency in at least one of three micronutrients among preschool-aged…

A subnational affordability assessment of nutritious foods for complementary feeding in Kenya
Complementary feeding among children aged 6-23 months is a key determinant of micronutrient deficiencies and childhood stunting, the burdens of which remain high in Kenya. This study examines the affordability of complementary foods to increase young children's nutrient consumption across eight provinces in Kenya. We combined data from household surveys, food composition tables and published sources to estimate the cost of portion sizes that coul…
Achieving dietary micronutrient adequacy in a finite world
Eating behaviour of Indonesian adolescents
Objectives: Global evidence has shown that behaviour acquired during adolescence often lasts into adulthood. Diet quality of and malnutrition in Indonesian adolescents is a neglected area of research. The current study reviews all studies related to eating behaviour in Indonesian adolescents to support evidence-based policy to improve diets. Design: We searched electronic databases (six international and one local), from January 2000 to April 201…
Viewpoint
Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress in eradicating poverty and malnutrition; protecting human rights; and restoring natural resources. Food system activities have contributed to great gains for humanity but have also led to significant challenges, including hunger, poor diet quality, inequity, and threats to nature. While it is recognized that food systems are central t…

Bottlenecks and predictors of coverage and adherence outcomes for a micronutrient powder program in Ethiopia
A theory-driven evaluation was conducted to assess performance of a trial to deliver micronutrient powder (MNP) through the Ethiopian Ministry of Health. We adapted an approach to coverage assessment, originally developed to identify bottlenecks in health service delivery, to examine sequential program outcomes and their correlates using cross-sectional survey data of caregivers of children 6-23 months (N = 1915). Separate multivariable Poisson r…
Child stunting is associated with child, maternal, and environmental factors in Vietnam
Child stunting in Vietnam has reduced substantially since the turn of the century but has remained relatively high for several years. We analysed data on children 6-59 months (n = 85,932) from the Vietnam Nutritional Surveillance System, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. Multivariable Poisson regression models were used to estimate relative risk (RR) of stunting, stratified by child age and ecological region. Covariates at the c…
A review of child stunting determinants in Indonesia
Child stunting reduction is the first of 6 goals in the Global Nutrition Targets for 2025 and a key indicator in the second Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger. The prevalence of child stunting in Indonesia has remained high over the past decade, and at the national level is approximately 37%. It is unclear whether current approaches to reduce child stunting align with the scientific evidence in Indonesia. We use the World Health Organiza…
