  • Changes in Climate Vulnerability and Projected Water Stress of The Gambia's Food Supply Between 1988 and 2018

    Open AccessGenevieve Hadida, Zakari Ali et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: The coexistence of under- and overnutrition is of increasing public health concern in The Gambia. Fruits, vegetables and pulses are essential to healthy and sustainable diets, preventing micronutrient deficiencies and non-communicable diseases, while cereals significantly contribute to energy intake. However, environmental changes are predicted to intensify, reducing future yields of these crops if agricultural productivity and resili…

  • Grassroots and Youth-Led Climate Solutions From The Gambia

    Open AccessAna Bonell, Jainaba Badjie et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

In The Gambia, West Africa, the impacts of climate change are already being directly experienced by the population, and this will worsen in coming years. There is stron…

  • Adherence to EAT-Lancet dietary recommendations for health and sustainability in the Gambia

    Open AccessZakari Ali, Pauline FD Scheelbeek et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Facilitating dietary change is pivotal to improving population health, increasing food system resilience, and minimizing adverse impacts on the environment, but assessment of the current 'status-quo' and identification of bottlenecks for improvement has been lacking to date. We assessed deviation of the Gambian diet from the EAT-Lancet guidelines for healthy and sustainable diets and identified leverage points to improve nutritional and planetary…

  • Household factors and gestational age predict diet quality of pregnant women

    Open AccessMohammed Bukari, Mahama Saaka et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Adequate diet during pregnancy has positive effects on the mother and pregnancy outcome. Assessment of diet quality during pregnancy is particularly important in areas where household food security is suboptimal, to enable appropriate targeting and intervention. This study assessed diet quality and identified predicting factors among pregnant women in northern Ghana. A cross-sectional study involving 403 pregnant women was conducted in May 2018. …
