Measuring Infant and Young Child Complementary Feeding PracticesAg4HealthNutrition
In this presentation, Dr. Marie Ruel, Director of the Poverty, Health, and Nutrition Division of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) tackles the important issue of how to measure infant and young child feeding practices, as they relate to child nutrition. She explains indicators, current practices, and research gaps. Dr. Ruel also serves as leader of the research flagship on integrated nutrition programs and policies for the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), led by IFPRI. This presentation was delivered at the 87th Nestle Nutrition Institute Workshop in Singapore May 8-11, 2016.

Introductions
Nancy explored pathways as a framing CRP research questions
Jody synthesised approaches to nutritional research into a map
Gina shared the evolution of simplifying food intake and nutritional indicators
You looked at how you may use these in your research
Agnes, Dee and Ruth shared different research and survey techniques, focus groups and
vignettes and you discussed them in some depth
We learnt’ environmental enteropathy’, ‘anthropometry’, ‘WDDS’, ‘MDD’
Diet diversity
Other health issues and cultural context were raised as important variables
We heard in the Bangladesh case that research to change agricultural practices can
