  • Achieving Nutritional Impact and Food Security through Agriculture
    Infant and Young Child Nutrition Project (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), 2011)
    Agricultural interventions can have a profound impact on food security and nutrition. However, they can also potentially negatively affect these same two outcomes by neglecting to consider the impacts of technologies, markets, and gender roles. The purpose of this resource is to provide a summary of the connections between agriculture, food security, and nutrition as well as ways to maximize the benefits obtained from the integration of all three within an agricultural intervention.

    Infant and Young Child Nutrition Project (US Agency for International Development (USAID), 2011)
    The Infant and Young Child Nutrition Project is a USAID-funded initiative to prevent malnutrition in children and infants. They do so through low-cost interventions in fifteen countries (Bangladesh, Malawi, Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Peru, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Kenya, South Africa. Lesotho, Zambia, Madagascar). This website provides access to information on their projects as well as reports on nutrition and agriculture linkages.

    Integrating Household Nutrition and Food Security Objectives into Proposed Agriculture Projects
    Infant and Young Child Nutrition Project; United States Agency for International Development. (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), 2011)
    This resource offers practical suggestions for incorporating nutrition and household food security objectives into agricultural research as well as how to measure their outcomes, such as a Household Food Insecurity Access Scale.
  • Nutrition and Food Security Impacts of Agriculture Projects
    Infant and Young Child Nutrition Project (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), 2011)
    Often, agricultural research or projects are undertaken to improve nutrition and food security status, but those impacts are never actually measured or are only measured by proxy. Thirty years of international agriculture research was used to generate this summary of food security or nutrition impacts in developing countries.
