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: What would work
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…

A Transdisciplinary Analysis of Covid-19 in Italy: The Most Affected Country in Europe
As of 27 March 2020, 199 countries and territories and one international conveyance are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the same date, Italy represents the third country worldwide in total number of cases and the first one in total number of deaths. The purpose of this study is to analyse the Italian case and identify key problem questions and lessons learned from the Italian experience. The study initially provides a general overview of…
