From tradition to transition: A multidimensional analysis of household dietary sustainability in Uganda
Sustainable diets are increasingly central to global food systems research, yet evidence from low- and middle-income countries remains limited. This study assesses changes in the sustainability of Ugandan household diets from 2005 to 2020 employing a new Sustainable Diet Index (SDI) encompassing healthfulness, environmental impact, cultural appropriateness, and economic affordability. Using nationally representative data, we found that diets beca…
Agroecological sustainability of traditional green leafy vegetable value chains in central Uganda: A supply-side perspective
Diversifying food systems with traditional green leafy vegetables can enhance food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the sustainability of these value chains, especially in informal markets, remains underexplored. This study assessed sustainability using agroecological principles within a value chain analysis framework. Data from 287 producers and 36 traders in Uganda showed that vegetable chains only partially align with the…
Are processed fruits and vegetables able to reduce diet costs and address micronutrient deficiencies? Evidence from rural Tanzania
Objective: To assess the impact of integrating processed fruits and vegetables (FV) into diets in terms of diet cost reduction and ensuring nutritional adequacy year-round. Design: Market surveys were conducted to record foods. Focus group discussions (FGD) and 24-h dietary assessments – from children and women – were carried out to determine culturally accepted dietary habits. Six processed FV were considered for addition to diets. Using the Cos…
Influence of Seasonal On-Farm Diversity on Dietary Diversity: A Case Study of Smallholder Farming Households in Western Kenya
This study explored the associations between dietary patterns and farm diversity as well as socioeconomic variables during two seasons in rural Western Kenya. As a mean of two surveys, the average dietary diversity scores (DDS) of households and women were low, implying low household economic access to food and low women's dietary quality. The Food Consumption Score (FCS) showed that acceptable levels of food consumption were realized over seven …
Community-based educational intervention improved the diversity of complementary diets in western Kenya: Results from a randomized controlled trial
Objective Lack of diversity is a major factor contributing to inadequate nutrient intakes among children during the complementary feeding period in many rural areas in developing countries. This has been attributed to inadequate feeding practices and nutrition knowledge among their caregivers. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of an educational intervention on children’s dietary diversity and nutrition knowledge of caregivers.…
