The review demonstrates that designing policies to holistically address underlying drivers of inequity would require data disaggregated at the level of relevant social groups, with adequate geographic granularity, as well as qualitative data from the perspectives of affected people spanning food environments, socioeconomic information, and the food security, nutrition, and health issues that policies target.
In this EatSafe report, the hazards and risks associated with consuming seven commodities sold in traditional food markets in North-Western Nigeria.
Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, this study substantiates existing evidence suggesting that there is reason for public health concern regarding aflatoxin exposure in the Nigerian population.
In this report, EatSafe presents the results of Phase I targeted formative research specific to consumers' and vendors' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) towards food safety in Hawassa, Ethiopia.
In this review of articles published between 2000 and 2020, all but one study reported some level of success, but there is a clear evidence gap for efficiency and cost-effectiveness analyses.
Limited access to markets and poor market infrastructure are underlying factors that negatively impact nutrition outcomes for the rural poor in hard-to-reach areas, including communities working on tea estates in India. An innovative and sustainable market-based supply chain model was tested in Assam, India, to improve the nutrition of the tea estate communities.
Healthy diets are unaffordable to over 2 billion people worldwide and food access remains a challenge for many. The food environment illustrates the interaction of consumers with different food retail outlets to acquire and consume food.
We illustrate that to improve food safety within traditional markets it is essential to consider some of the motivations and incentives of the stakeholders involved and the cultural, social, and economic context in which interventions are undertaken, highlighting barriers, enablers future interventions should aim to avoid, embrace.
As elaborated in a GAIN evidence brief, poor-quality diets and insufficient food quantity are linked to reduced work capacity. This suggests that the malnutrition burden can be partly addressed through a win-win-win approach which improves individual lives, business outcomes, and national economies.
