Overall Messages: Pathways to Nutrition
OLD: Assumptions about nutrition impact have been challenged
• Increasing production of calories
• Increasing overall household incomes as a singular priority
• Agriculture as an engine of overall economic growth; trickle-down effect on nutrition minimal
NEW: These need more attention if we are going to reach nutrition
• Increasing production of diverse, nutrient dense foods
• Increasing women’s incomes • And avoiding harm due to additional
time demands or energy expenditure of women
• Incorporating nutrition behavior change communication for enhanced nutrition impact from food production and income
