Pcat policy brief draft
1) Agriculture plays a significant role in Bangladesh's economy, employing 48% of the workforce, but climate change poses major risks to the sector through increased flooding, drought, salinity, and other issues.
2) Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its geography, and anticipated impacts on agriculture could undermine food security as climate change affects rainfall, temperature, and other important factors.
3) The government of Bangladesh and NGOs are working to promote climate-adaptive agriculture through policies, research, and extension services, but face challenges in coordination, underinvestment in agriculture, and lack of farmer access to new technologies.

This document discusses the need to transform food systems globally in order to address malnutrition. It notes that malnutrition is rising worldwide and affecting over 30% of people. If no changes are made, malnutrition could affect 50% of the global population by 2035. While the ICN2 framework provides a starting point, bolder actions are needed to fully implement evidence-based nutrition interventions, redirect agricultural subsidies toward nutritious foods, refocus agriculture research, and incentivize industry and consumers toward healthier options. Metrics and data on global diet quality also need improvement to guide policies and ensure accountability.

Indonesia has high levels of malnutrition compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Stunting affects over 30% of children in every province. Causes include poor infant and young child feeding practices and sanitation issues. To address this, Indonesia launched a Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement in 2013. The movement aims to coordinate cross-sectoral nutrition actions and bring various stakeholders together under new leadership structures. It also develops policies and guidelines, advocates for nutrition, and monitors progress using national surveys and routine community data. Critical components for success include strong leadership, coordination, funding, capacity building, and ensuring nutrition is part of development plans.
Food proposal short
The document outlines a proposed 12-month research project by the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr) to develop a progressive food policy for the UK. The research will examine social, economic, and environmental values associated with food production and consumption. It will include a literature review, analysis of food expenditure surveys, and qualitative research across the UK. The project aims to identify priorities for a progressive food policy by providing a cohesive understanding of food issues and bring together debates that currently remain as single issues. The research will result in two working papers, a policy seminar, and a final report outlining recommendations for a progressive UK food policy.

Uganda has made some progress improving nutrition but still faces challenges with high levels of stunting and anemia. The government has developed nutrition policies and plans and established units focused on food and nutrition security within the Ministries of Agriculture and Health. However, coverage of key interventions remains limited. A new multisectoral nutrition project funded by GAFSP aims to increase production and consumption of nutrient-rich foods and use of community nutrition services through school gardens, nutrition education, and small community gardens. To further accelerate progress, the document recommends mainstreaming nutrition across agriculture and health programs, strengthening institutions and community interventions, and increasing advocacy efforts.Food Security and Nutrition Research Data Gaps & The Food Security Portal

Marie T. Ruel discusses value chains for improving nutrition and food safety. Value chains can help address problems along the production, storage, processing, distribution and consumption of foods. They allow for coordination across different actors to identify opportunities to enhance nutrient content and prevent losses. While progress has been made in certain areas, more research is still needed on implementing nutrition-sensitive value chains at scale and measuring their impact and cost-effectiveness.

The document discusses coordination of nutrition partners and programs in Ghana. It finds that malnutrition is addressed by many actors across different sectors, but coordination is challenging. Existing coordination mechanisms at the national level, like NANUPACC and the SUN CSPG, are functionally inactive. Coordination is also limited at regional and district levels. Key barriers to effective coordination include limited nutrition capacity and prioritization across agencies, incomplete decentralization, and reliance on donor funding. Improving coordination will require establishing a National Food and Nutrition Commission to lead engagement across sectors, strengthening multi-sectoral capacity, and increasing dedicated government funding for nutrition programs at all levels.

Some 805 million people in the world are undernourished, and more than 2 million children die each year of malnutrition. Promoting agriculture for improving nutrition is urgently needed.
In this context, a framework for joint action "Agriculture and nutrition: A common future” was launched by the European Commission, FAO, the World Bank and CTA at the International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), held in November 2014, in Rome.
The framework was presented by CTA’s Director, Michael Hailu, and lays out how the four organisations will align their efforts to deliver concrete actions that make a difference to those most affected by malnutrition.

This document discusses building an integrated agenda for international research and policy on the linkages between agriculture and health. It argues for redefining agriculture to include its roles in nutrition and health. Key points discussed include the need to consider both the positive and negative impacts of agriculture on health, and to take an interdisciplinary, systems-level perspective. Institutional challenges and potential areas of focus for an integrated research agenda are also outlined.
Topic 1 policy analysis
This document provides an introduction to empirical food and nutrition security analysis. It outlines key concepts related to food security including the four dimensions of availability, access, utilization, and stability. It reviews global and country-level data on food insecurity, such as trends in undernourishment and child malnutrition. The document also discusses policy options and tools for measuring food security progress, including the Global Hunger Index. Finally, it provides an overview of the course structure for empirically analyzing food security issues.
Rao 5a the choice of a policy strategy
The document discusses various policy strategies for ensuring food security. It identifies three broad strategies: availability and supply-oriented approaches that increase food supplies; access and demand-oriented approaches that increase demands; and utilization and outcomes-oriented approaches that improve nutrition. While all three strategies are needed, the emphasis depends on whether the main food deficit is related to supply, demand, or dietary imbalance. The document then examines key aspects of production and supply-based policy approaches as well as debates around self-sufficiency versus reliance on imports. It also discusses the roles of poverty reduction, safety nets, and nutrition interventions in achieving food security.

Topic 11 commercialization
1) The document analyzes the relationship between commercialization of agriculture (growing cash crops) and food security and child nutrition in Malawi.
2) Cross-tabulation results show that households growing cash crops had higher rates of calorie adequacy and lower levels of food insecurity compared to non-cash crop households.
3) Rates of stunting, underweight, and wasting were also lower among children under 5 from households growing cash crops versus those that did not.
Mannan 2b areas of interventions in nfp po a and nutrition programmes in cip
The document summarizes a training on assessing nutritional status organized by the National Food Policy Capacity Strengthening Programme. It discusses areas of intervention in Bangladesh's National Food Policy Plan of Action and Nutrition Programmes in the Country Investment Plan. These include long-term planning for balanced nutrition, ensuring nutrition for vulnerable groups, nutrition education, food supplementation and fortification, water and sanitation, food safety, and women and children's health. The training outline and lectures cover related concepts like food security, policy frameworks, monitoring, and data collection.
Ahmed 5 introduction to key indicators
1) Malnutrition in Bangladesh persists due to an intergenerational cycle where malnourished adults have malnourished children who grow up to be malnourished parents.
2) While underweight prevalence among children under 5 has declined significantly from over 70% in 1990 to 41.3% in 2014 due to factors like increased literacy, vaccination programs, and food production, the rate of decline has stagnated in recent years.
3) Continued high levels of malnutrition threaten Bangladesh's development, with stunted children experiencing impaired mental and physical development that can persist into adulthood.
Topic 16 poverty(ii)
This document discusses India's food security oriented approach to poverty alleviation from a macro and micro perspective. It outlines how India has conceptualized poverty and food security since the pre-independence era based on minimum calorie requirements. A three-pronged strategy was employed involving increasing food availability, distribution through PDS, and income generation programs. However, targeting errors have been issues. Economic reforms required rethinking PDS and targeting approaches to balance growth with redistributive justice given the large population of food insecure poor. Identification of beneficiaries remains a challenge between universal and targeted programs.
Topic 4 intro spss_stata
This document provides an overview of SPSS and STATA software packages for econometric analysis. It discusses how to decide which software is better based on the type of analysis, the advantages of SPSS for descriptive statistics and its limitations for advanced analysis, and the strengths of STATA for handling large datasets, advanced statistical procedures, and its expandability through user-developed tools. It also introduces the basic structure and windows of SPSS, including the data editor, output navigator, and syntax editor. Finally, it outlines the different versions of STATA software.
Talukder 5e training lecture on monitoring and early warning
The document discusses concepts of monitoring, forecasting and early warning systems for food security. It describes how monitoring crop conditions, weather factors and prices can be used to forecast food production and availability. Early warning systems provide timely information to help manage food stocks and respond to potential shortages or surpluses. The document reviews Bangladesh's early warning initiatives and how its domestic system can integrate with global early warning networks run by organizations like FAO and USAID.

Based on various information sources, trainees will learn about the status of food security and nutrition in Bangladesh, as well as research activities and policies related to food security and nutrition. Key policies aim to improve food and nutrition security through priority investment programs, including those focused on agriculture, fisheries, livestock, food access, and nutrition. Challenges to implementing these programs and achieving food security goals include natural disasters, volatile food prices, and lack of income generation for poor people.
Mothabbir 3 introduction to key indicators
The document provides an overview of a training on the assessment of nutritional status using anthropometric indicators. It discusses the basic concepts of anthropometry for children, including different anthropometric indices and indicators of undernutrition. It also outlines the methodology for collecting and analyzing anthropometric data, including appropriate measurements of weight, height/length, mid-upper arm circumference, and edema. The importance of comparing anthropometric data to reference standards to identify stunting, wasting, underweight, and acute malnutrition is emphasized.
Rao 4a factors in food security 1 food chain-sources instability
The document discusses the food chain and how it determines food security and sources of instability through availability, access, and stability. It examines the physical and financial flows along the food chain and how failures in food entitlements can lead to problems. Seasonal variations and supply instability are also discussed as major factors that can disrupt the food chain and threaten food security.
Topic 9 fsp descriptive statistics
The document discusses food security in India based on data from 1983 to 2004-05. It finds that while average cereal consumption and calorie intake have declined, the declines are not as large as suggested by averages due to stagnant incomes of the poor. Specifically:
- Cereal expenditure increased for the bottom three income deciles but not quantities consumed.
- Calorie intake increased for the bottom decile but decreased for the top deciles, indicating convergence at a lower level.
- Incidence of calorie deficiency increased by official norms but not by convergence norms that account for changes in consumption patterns among income groups.
Alam 4 introduction to key indicators
Anthropometric assessment is used to evaluate nutrition status. It involves measuring body height, weight, and proportions. BMI is calculated from weight and height and used to assess obesity levels. Other measures include mid-upper arm circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, and skinfold thickness. Guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy vary based on pre-pregnancy BMI. High or low weight gain can impact birth outcomes like birth weight and risk of cesarean delivery. Accurate data monitoring is needed to evaluate nutrition programs and health system performance.
Rao 3c institutional and infrastructural prerequisites
- Institutions and infrastructure are development prerequisites that impact food security.
- Infrastructure includes both hard/economic infrastructure like transportation and irrigation, as well as soft/social infrastructure like education and health services.
- Institutions include both the rules and organizations involved in service delivery. Examples include laws, property rights, market regulations, and government agencies.
- Both infrastructure and institutions are needed to support well-functioning markets and address issues like market and government failures in provisioning public goods.
Topic 20 anthro meaurement230312
Malnutrition in children can be measured in several ways:
1) Low birth weight indicates intra-uterine undernutrition from maternal malnutrition.
2) Childhood malnutrition has severe consequences if it occurs early in life, negatively impacting growth, health, development and productivity.
3) Common anthropometric indicators used to measure nutritional status in children under 5 include height-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-height, and mid-upper arm circumference. Stunting, wasting and underweight are classifications based on these measures.
Ahmed 5 introduction to key indicators
1) Nutritional anemia is a major public health problem in Bangladesh, with prevalence rates as high as 92% among infants and 74.1% among pre-school children.
2) Anemia has significant negative consequences including increased morbidity, reduced work capacity, impaired growth and learning. It also results in large economic losses.
3) The major causes of anemia in Bangladesh are iron deficiency due to poor dietary intake and hookworm infection. Existing programs have had limited success in reducing anemia rates.
Topic 2 determinants
The document discusses malnutrition in South Asia compared to Sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that over 50% of children in South Asia are malnourished, compared to just 30% in Africa. It examines various potential explanations for this "Asian enigma" like poverty, agriculture, inequality, and diet, but finds that none fully explain it. It suggests the main causes are that children in South Asia are either not well-fed or well-cared for, or both. The document also discusses the relationship between poverty and agricultural growth in India.
Topic 16 poverty(i)
This document discusses concepts and methods for measuring poverty. It notes that while governments collect many statistics on poverty, the data ultimately comes from individual reports that may not be accurate. There are practical concerns in measuring poverty, including defining the poverty line, what unit to measure (individual, household), and what indicators to use. Common methods for setting the poverty line include the food energy intake method and cost of basic needs approach. The food energy intake method sets the poverty line based on the expenditure needed to meet minimum daily calorie requirements. The cost of basic needs approach identifies items in a basic consumption bundle and determines the total cost. Poverty lines may vary by region due to differences in prices and publicly provided goods and services.
Topic 14 maternal education
This document discusses a study examining the relationship between maternal education, child care practices, and child malnutrition in India. It presents a conceptual framework showing how maternal education can improve child nutritional status through better health care knowledge and practices. A two-way ANOVA analysis is used to analyze the interaction effects of maternal education levels and an index of child care practices on child weight-for-height Z-scores. The results suggest that while maternal education has a significant main effect, there is no significant interaction between education levels and child care practices on child nutritional status.

The document discusses harmonizing Bangladesh's Second National Plan of Action for Nutrition (NPAN2) and Second Country Investment Plan (CIP2). It notes that both plans were developed through participatory processes, have common stakeholders and timelines, and are aligned with national and international commitments. The plans have common overall goals, objectives, indicators and monitoring frameworks focused on ensuring healthy diets and nutrition. Key areas of alignment between the plans include investments in nutrition-sensitive agriculture, food safety and transformation, dietary diversity and consumption, nutrition education, and social protection programs. Harmonizing the two plans will help fill financial gaps, mobilize resources, and ensure complementary actions to improve food and nutrition security in Bangladesh.
GCARD2: Briefing paper Household Nutrition Security (WFP)
While the research agenda is growing, there remains limited concrete evidence on how agriculture–nutrition linkages work. A mapping exercise has been completed by DFID/LCIRAH outlining the research gaps. However more nutrition-relevant data from agricultural interventions needs to be generated, collected and shared, and nutritional indicators need to be included in evaluations. LCIRAH identify the need for greater understanding of the pathways from agricultural inputs and practices through value chains to effects on food environment, consumption and nutrition.

Habiba Hassan at Egypt NPS Seminar
The document discusses how household diets respond to food crises in three main ways:
1. Through changes in purchasing practices such as prioritizing cheaper foods, subsidies, and charitable distributions.
2. Through changes in cooking methods like using less expensive ingredients, reducing portion sizes, and consuming more prepared foods.
3. Through changes in child feeding practices such as providing more money for children to buy food and relying more on school meals.
The National Nutrition Sciences Committee aims to improve diets during crises by working with stakeholders, studying food environments, and promoting healthy home food production and consumption. Egypt is encouraged to strengthen policy coherence, nutrition research, and join the Scaling Up Nutrition movement

Topic 21 evidence on diet diversity
Dietary diversity, as measured by the number of unique foods consumed, is associated with several indicators of household food security. The document considers the relationships between dietary diversity and per capita expenditures, caloric availability from both staples and non-staples, and finds associations between greater consumption of diverse food groups and higher levels of each of these food security indicators. Unique food groups are defined as country-specific staples and luxury staples, as well as vitamin A-rich foods, beans and pulses, dairy, fats, sugars, meat and eggs, and other plant-based foods.
Topic 21 diet diversity
This document discusses key concepts and methods for conducting dietary assessments and nutritional analysis. It defines dietary assessment, nutritional assessment, nutritional status, nutrient intake and requirements. It also discusses optimal nutritional status, dietary assessment principles, dietary diversity, and when to measure dietary diversity. Different food groups are identified for constructing the Household Dietary Diversity Score and Women's Dietary Diversity Score. Methods for calculating and setting thresholds for these scores are described. The document also illustrates the association between dietary adequacy and anthropometric measures of nutritional status.
Topic 21 diet diversity stata
Srinivasulu Rajendran from the Centre for the Study of Regional Development at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India presented on measuring household dietary diversity scores. The household dietary diversity score (HDDS) is a simple count of food groups consumed by a household over the preceding 3 days. It reflects a household's economic access to food. Food groups are categorized and each food group consumed is given a score of 1. The total HDDS is the sum of all food groups consumed and can range from 0 to 15. HDDS provides a snapshot of household food access but not nutrient adequacy of individual diets.
Topic 20 anthropomeric indicators
This document discusses anthropometry measurements used to assess nutritional status in children under 5. It provides an overview of key anthropometric indices like height-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-height, and mid-upper arm circumference, which are compared to reference standards to identify conditions like stunting, wasting, underweight, and acute malnutrition. Cut-offs for malnutrition are defined based on z-scores and the WHO child growth standards are recommended as the reference for Bangladesh. Methods of collecting and analyzing anthropometric data are also outlined.
Topic 20 anthro meaurement
The document discusses malnutrition indicators and the nutritional status of children under 5 years old. It outlines several key indicators used to measure malnutrition: low birth weight, stunting, wasting, and underweight. Stunting indicates chronic undernutrition and reduced linear growth. Wasting reflects acute, short-term malnutrition and loss of body mass. Underweight is a composite measure of both chronic and acute malnutrition. The document also discusses classifications for moderate and severe forms of each indicator based on standard deviations from growth references. Trends in undernutrition among children in Bangladesh from 1989 to 2009 are shown, demonstrating declines in stunting, wasting, and underweight over time.
Topic 20 anthro stata
This document discusses measuring anthropometric indicators like child stunting, wasting, and underweight. It explains that these are the three most commonly used indicators and describes how to calculate each using height-for-age, weight-for-height, and weight-for-age respectively. The document provides an example calculation of a child's weight-for-age z-score and refers the reader to Stata programs and datasets for further information.
Topic 19 inequaltiy
The document discusses measures of income inequality and policy implications. It provides context on Kuznets' framework of sectoral and intra-sectoral disparities. It then examines various measures of inequality like the Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, and Atkinson index, noting that all embed normative judgments. Estimates of inequality for India are based on consumption distribution data from the National Sample Survey, but have limitations since they ignore within-group inequality. Policy strategies also assume independence between growth and redistribution, which is an oversimplification.
Topic 19 inequality stata
The document discusses measuring wealth inequality through the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. It provides steps to construct the Lorenz curve from household wealth distribution data and interpret the results. The Gini coefficient measures inequality based on the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve and line of equality to the total area under the line of equality. STATA commands like 'inequal' and 'lorenz' can calculate various inequality measures and plot the Lorenz curve from data.
Topic 18 multiple regression
The document summarizes the results of a multiple regression analysis examining factors that influence childhood nutritional status. The analysis used data from Malawi and examined variables like maternal education, health clinic access, diarrhea incidence, breastfeeding practices, and more. The regression identified several significant predictors of childhood weight-for-age and height-for-age, including maternal education, clinic access, diarrhea incidence, and breastfeeding. The model fit the data well and assumptions of the regression were met. Overall, the analysis found that childhood nutrition is influenced by multiple socioeconomic and health-related factors.
Topic 17 regression
This document discusses regression analysis, including its origins and modern understanding, applications, deterministic versus stochastic specifications, problems with estimation, and why ordinary least squares is commonly used. It also mentions data prerequisites for regression analysis.
Topic17 regression spss
The document discusses using linear regression analysis in SPSS to analyze the relationship between household size (independent variable) and monthly per capita household expenditure (dependent variable). It outlines the steps to perform the regression analysis in SPSS, including selecting variables, interpreting output tables like the model summary, ANOVA table, and coefficients table. The analysis finds that household size significantly influences monthly expenditure, with expenditure increasing by about 862 taka for each additional household member.
Topic 15 correlation spss
This document provides an overview of correlation analysis procedures in SPSS, including bivariate correlation, partial correlation, and distance measures. It discusses interpreting correlation coefficients and significance values. Scatterplots are recommended to check assumptions before correlation. Hands-on exercises are included to find correlations between variables while controlling for other variables.
Topic 15 correlation
This document discusses analyzing the correlation between various socioeconomic, demographic, environmental, and health factors and child nutritional status. It describes collecting cross-sectional data on factors like household expenditures, mother's education, access to healthcare and sanitation, and child illness. Correlation analysis would examine the linear association between these determinants and anthropometric indicators of child nutrition to help identify policy priorities for improving child health and nutrition outcomes.
Topic 14 two anova
Srinivasulu Rajendran from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India presented information on performing a two-way ANOVA using SPSS. The researcher analyzed how monthly per capita food expenditure was influenced by participants' gender and education level. A two-way ANOVA found no significant interaction between gender and education but did find a significant effect of education level on food expenditure.
Topic 13 cons pattern
1) The document discusses changes in consumption patterns using data from Malawi. It analyzes the proportions of calories derived from different food groups across household expenditure quartiles.
2) ANOVA tests show the shares of calories from maize, roots/tubers, and meat/fish/eggs differ significantly across expenditure quartiles, while shares of other foods do not.
3) Poorer households derive most calories from staples like maize, while higher-income households consume more vegetables, milk, and animal products, indicating greater dietary diversity with more income.
Topic 13 con pattern spss
A two-way ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of gender head and education level on monthly per capita food expenditure. There was no significant interaction between gender head and education level. While there were no differences between gender heads within each education level, there were significant differences in expenditure between education levels overall. Simple main effects tests showed no significant differences in expenditure between gender heads at each education level.
Topic 12 gender technology interface
This document discusses the relationship between gender, technology adoption, and food security. It notes that women produce over half the food in developing countries but often have less access to resources. The document then presents empirical analysis of this relationship in Malawi. Cross-tabulation results show male-headed households are more likely to adopt hybrid maize technology and achieve food security. Statistical tests reveal a significant relationship between gender of the household head and technology adoption.
Topic 10 technology
The document discusses the impact of technological progress on food and nutrition security. It provides empirical evidence from countries like Malawi, Zambia, Guatemala, Rwanda, Bangladesh, and Madagascar. Household data from Malawi is used to estimate the differential levels of food security between adopters of hybrid maize technology and non-adopters, and test the significance. Measures like the food security index, number of meals, and livestock ownership are used. Statistical tests like the t-test show that adoption of new technology significantly improves food security.
Topic 8 graphs
1) The document discusses various graphical methods for presenting qualitative and quantitative data, including bar diagrams, pie charts, and histograms.
2) Bar diagrams and pie charts can be used to depict qualitative data by scaling the vertical axis by frequency or relative frequency of each class.
3) Histograms are used for quantitative data by drawing rectangles above each class interval, with the area corresponding to the frequency or density of observations in that interval.
4) Examples of each type of graph are provided using real data on expenditures, calorie intake, and other variables to illustrate how the graphs can be made.
Topic 7 stat inference
The document discusses statistical hypothesis testing. It defines key terms like the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, rejection region, Type I and Type II errors, significance level, and p-value. It also describes the steps to conduct a hypothesis test including stating the hypotheses, choosing a test statistic, determining critical values, and interpreting the conclusions. Specific hypothesis tests for a population mean are also covered, including tests when the population variance is known versus unknown.

The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
