Debunking six myths about food supply chain in Sub Saharan Africa

Debunking six myths about food supply chain in Sub Saharan Africa

This infographic has been prepared by GAIN based on the blog Keeping food flowing within African food systems by busting policy myths penned by GAIN's Executive Director Lawrence Haddad commenting on the paper "Essential non-essentials": COVID-19 policy missteps in Nigeria rooted in persistent myths about African food supply chains.
GAIN Working Paper Series 14 - Selling to the world's poorest - the potential role of markets in increasing access to nutritious foods

GAIN Working Paper Series 14 - Selling to the world's poorest - the potential role of markets in increasing access to nutritious foods

Poor people in the global South eat diets with few nutrient-dense foods, putting children and adults alike at risk of malnutrition. Strategies to improve their diets will look different depending on whether current access to such foods is mostly via home production or via purchase and on whether poor families actually want to consume more of specific nutrient-dense food groups.
Five priorities to operationalize the EAT–Lancet Commission report

Five priorities to operationalize the EAT–Lancet Commission report

To operationalize the great food system transformation and ensure its sustainability, five areas of research and action require more attention: economic and structural costs; political economy; diversity of cultural norms; equity and social justice; and governance and decision support tools.
GAIN Discussion Paper Series 5 - The role of animal-source foods in healthy, sustainable, and equitable food systems

GAIN Discussion Paper Series 5 - The role of animal-source foods in healthy, sustainable, and equitable food systems

Animal-source foods (ASF; meat, poultry, fish, dairy, and eggs) have attracted considerable attention for both their role in diets and their environmental impacts - and their production also plays an important role in livelihoods, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The Food Systems Dashboard is a new tool to inform better food policy

The Food Systems Dashboard is a new tool to inform better food policy

The Food Systems Dashboard brings together extant data from public and private sources to help decision makers understand their food systems, identify their levers of change and decide which ones need to be pulled. The Global Burden of Disease study showed that unhealthy diets contribute to 11 million deaths per year.
Viewpoint: A view on the key research issues that the CGIAR should lead on 2020–2030

Viewpoint: A view on the key research issues that the CGIAR should lead on 2020–2030

How should the CGIAR's research programme be focused to make it as impactful as possible given the changes being faced by the world's population over the next 10 years? This viewpoint suggests a firm emphasis on research needed to unlock the potential of food systems to deliver improved nutrition, environmental sustainability and stronger livelihoods, with a focus on the tradeoffs and synergies therein.
Coverage and utilization in food fortification programs: critical and neglected areas of evaluation

Coverage and utilization in food fortification programs: critical and neglected areas of evaluation

The need for evidence to inform nutrition program design and implementation has long been recognized, yet the generation and use of evidence for program decision making has lagged. The purpose of this study was to assess the strengths and areas for improvement of current population-based and targeted fortification programs.
A new global research agenda for food

A new global research agenda for food

Lawrence Haddad, Corinna Hawkes and colleagues propose ten ways to shift the focus from feeding people to nourishing them. The purpose of this paper was to set out a new global research agenda for nutrition. It is aimed mainly at researchers, funders and governments, but has important messages for all stakeholders.
