Banu 7c conversion of food intakes to nutrientsSizwan Ahammed
This document discusses testing methods for iodine content in salt in Bangladesh. It provides background on iodine deficiency disorders in Bangladesh and efforts to implement universal salt iodization. It describes qualitative home testing methods using rice or lemon juice to check for a color change indicating iodine. It also outlines a quantitative testing kit developed by IFST, BCSIR that uses a solution, paper strip, and color chart to measure approximate iodine levels in salt. The goal is to ensure salt is adequately iodized to help prevent iodine deficiency disorders.
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.
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.
Rao 5e prof rezaul monitoring and early warningSizwan Ahammed
The document discusses concepts of monitoring, forecasting and early warning systems for food security. It describes how Bangladesh uses monitoring of factors like weather, crop conditions and prices to forecast food production and issues early warnings of shortages or surpluses. This allows the government to manage food stocks and plan imports or exports. The country's early warning systems are coordinated through several agencies and aim to integrate domestic monitoring with global early warning networks from organizations like FAO and USAID.
Rao 5d the scope and limits of targeted policiesSizwan Ahammed
This document discusses the tradeoffs between universal and targeted social welfare policies, specifically regarding food security policies. It notes that targeting aims to only support defined vulnerable groups but can result in exclusion errors, while universal policies aim to support all sections of society but may result in inclusion errors. The document outlines various constraints on policymaking like budgetary limits, and explores considerations around targeting like identification costs, type I and type II errors, and leakage. Overall it analyzes the scope and limits of targeting for food subsidy and other food security policies.
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.

This document discusses methods for monitoring crop conditions using remote sensing data. It begins with an introduction to crop phenology, the timing of crop stages, and how climate affects these stages. It then discusses using rainfall and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data to estimate the timing of crop stages and identify anomalies. Specific vegetation indices are explained, including CNDVI (Crop-Specific NDVI), DMP (Dry Matter Productivity), and rainfall/water indices like WRSI (Water Requirement Satisfaction Index) and SWI (Soil Moisture Index). Methods for extracting phenological metrics and timing of stages from NDVI time series data are also summarized.

Rao 3b the role of agriculture in growth & poverty alleviationSizwan Ahammed
The document discusses the role of agriculture in economic growth and poverty alleviation. It notes an apparent paradox where agriculture declines with economic growth, yet neglecting agriculture can stunt growth. It argues that in the early stages of development, faster agricultural growth is complementary to overall economic growth. However, agriculture tends to grow more slowly than the rest of the economy over the long run, implying a structural transformation. The document also examines how agricultural growth can reduce poverty through employment, incomes, and demand. It discusses variations across developing countries and scenarios around income levels, agricultural structures, and technological potentials.

Formulas are given for probability, expected value, and summation to calculate totals and averages.
Ahmed 1 the food and nutrition situation in bangladeshSizwan Ahammed
The document summarizes the food and nutrition situation in Bangladesh. It finds that malnutrition remains a major problem, with underweight prevalence among under-5 children at 47% in 2005-2006. The prevalence has declined but the rate of reduction is slowing. Key causes of malnutrition include poverty, food insecurity, poor maternal nutrition, and frequent illnesses. Evidence-based interventions to address undernutrition include promotion of breastfeeding, complementary feeding, vitamin A and zinc supplementation, and treatment of severe acute malnutrition. However, coverage of interventions needs to increase substantially to have a greater impact on reducing stunting and deaths.
