  • Impact of a homegardening intervention on crop diversity

    Open AccessKatja Kehlenbeck, Jillian Waid et al.ARTICLEFood Security2026

    Homegardening has the potential to improve access to nutrient-dense foods. We evaluate the impact of a large Homestead Food Production intervention on crop species richness and homegarden management as pathway outcomes of the ‘Food and Agricultural Approaches to Reducing Malnutrition’ (FAARM) cluster-randomized trial (NCT02505711) in rural North-eastern Bangladesh. Ninety-six settlements were allocated 1:1 to intervention (1337 women) and control…

  • Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programme impacts women’s mental health via food security in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessThalia Sparling, Cesar Cornejo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Food insecurity and malnutrition, as well as poor mental health, negatively impact millions of people worldwide and can reinforce each other, compounded by gender inequity. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions have the potential to improve these simultaneously. We analysed the impact of a homestead food production (HFP) programme on women's mental health, including pathways through food insecurity, women's empowerment and d…

  • The role of self-efficacy in women’s autonomy for health and nutrition decision-making in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessAllison P Salinger, Ellen Vermes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The results indicate the importance of the role of self-efficacy in the women's empowerment process, even in the traditionally female-controlled areas of health and nutrition decision-making. The development of the decision-making autonomy index is an important contribution to the literature in that it directly recognizes and captures the role of women's preferences regarding participation in decision-making

    Nutrition-sensitive agricultural programs have the potential to improve women's and children's nutrition, along with women's empowerment. The project-level Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI) aims to standardize the measurement of women's agency and enable the assessment of impact over typical project timelines. Within the Food and Agricultural Approaches to Reducing Malnutrition (FAARM) cluster-randomized controlled trial in rura…

    Open AccessNicholas N A Kyei, Jillian Waid et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Aside from specific environmental conditions, poor agricultural practices contribute to mold and thus the mycotoxin contamination of crops. This study investigated Bangladeshi farming households' (i) awareness of and experience with mold contamination of food crops; (ii) knowledge and awareness of the timing, causes, and consequences of mold and mycotoxin contamination; and (iii) knowledge of the recommended agricultural practices for controlling…

  • Depression among women of reproductive age in rural Bangladesh is linked to food security, diets and nutrition

    Open AccessThalia Sparling, Thalia M Sparling et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: To quantify the relationship between screening positive for depression and several indicators of the food and nutrition environment in Bangladesh. Design: We used cross-sectional data from the Food and Agricultural Approaches to Reducing Malnutrition (FAARM) trial in Bangladesh to examine the association of depression in non-peripartum (NPW) and peripartum women (PW) with food and nutrition security using multivariable logistic regress…

  • Global, regional, and national under-5 mortality, adult mortality, age-specific mortality, and life expectancy, 1970–2016

    Open AccessHaidong Wang, Amanuel Alemu Abajobir et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions to specific populations. Understanding how all-cause mortality has changed with respect to development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated age-specific and …
