Agricultural-nutrition pathways: do we
have the data and metrics?

This document discusses opportunities for linking agriculture and nutrition. It provides three examples: 1) Biofortification, using the example of orange-fleshed sweet potatoes in Mozambique and Uganda, which increased adoption rates and vitamin A intake. 2) Homestead food production programs integrating agriculture, health and nutrition at the community and household level in Bangladesh, improving diet diversity and micronutrient intake. 3) Nutrition-sensitive value chains for beans in Uganda and Rwanda, improving yields, nutritional value, market access, and demand through the bean production and distribution process. The document concludes there are opportunities but also challenges to better link agriculture and nutrition, and more cross-sector work and evidence is needed.

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.

Chapter 6: From the ground up: Cultivating agriculture for nutrition [Nourish...

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

FEW SECTORS HAVE clearer links to nutrition than agriculture. Most simply, of course, agriculture is a source of food. Because many poor households around the world grow food that they both consume and sell for income, agricultural interventions can have a massive effect on the lives of people in developing countries. Through the decades, and most famously in Asia’s Green Revolution, development projects have sought to boost agricultural production of staple foods as a way of improving people’s nutrition. Yet, while consuming a sufficient quantity of calories is important, especially among undernourished populations, quality matters too. Thus, the traditional focus on producing enough food to meet people’s calorie needs has evolved into a deeper understanding that to improve nutrition, we also need people to consume balanced, high-quality, and diverse diets that contain enough essential nutrients to meet their daily requirements.

IFSD14

This document summarizes research on linking agriculture and nutrition to ensure food security in Ethiopia. It finds that while legumes play an important role in diets, challenges include persistent hunger, population growth, and climate change. Studies examined the relationship between socioeconomics, gender, and nutrition, finding that women's roles in pulse production are less valued. Other research optimized pulse varieties and cultivation techniques, investigated mineral and nutrient levels in processed pulses, and developed nutrition education tools. The document advocates scaling interventions shown to improve diets through increased pulse production and consumption.

The document discusses ensuring nutritional security in rural communities through integrating nutrition and agriculture. It recommends mainstreaming nutrition into agricultural development by growing nutri-resilient crops, incorporating nutrition needs along the agricultural value chain, and forging cross-sectoral partnerships between agriculture, health, and education sectors. Malnutrition has been declared a major public health threat, and smallholder agriculture can play a role in reducing malnutrition through partnerships across sectors and working from both the demand and supply sides to promote availability and consumption of nutritious foods.

Challenges and Success in Linking Agriculture and Nutrition - Marie Ruel, IFPRI

LIDC

Over three decades of research, it has been shown that agriculture can impact nutrition through effects on income, food prices, labor demand, and time allocation. Some successful examples of linking agriculture and nutrition include biofortified rice in the Philippines which increased iron stores, and biofortified sweet potatoes in Mozambique which increased vitamin A intake and status in children. However, there are still challenges to fully realizing the potential of using agriculture to improve nutrition, such as limited evidence of impact, a lack of capacity and incentives for cross-sector collaboration, and the complexities of long-term, inter-sectoral work.

Biodiversity for food and nutrition; country experiences

Bioversity International

This document discusses mainstreaming biodiversity for food and nutrition (BFN) based on experiences from the GEF Biodiversity for Food and Nutrition project. It outlines three key approaches to mainstreaming BFN at the national and local level: 1) policy and program design, such as integrating BFN into national biodiversity strategies and food security policies, 2) research on food composition and nutrition functional diversity, and 3) implementation through nutrition-sensitive agriculture and value chains as well as awareness activities. Case studies from Brazil and Kenya demonstrate mainstreaming BFN through revising national biodiversity plans and school food procurement programs. Effective mainstreaming requires collaboration across sectors, resources, and champions to integrate the link between biodiversity and nutrition outcomes

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.

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

1) Agricultural research is a key factor for agricultural development but is only one of many factors that influence rural prosperity. Understanding rural and territorial development as well as the rural-urban interface is important for rethinking agricultural research pathways. 2) Partnerships are needed for agricultural research to have impact on reducing rural poverty since pathways to impact are long, wide, and involve many other public, private, and civil society actors. 3) Agricultural research must be rethought to engage with national sustainable food systems at the rural-urban interface where many opportunities and challenges exist due to urbanization, diet changes, and food market transformations.

Good practice in AR4D Partnership - Jeroen Dijkman

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

The document discusses emerging patterns of good practice in multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) and implications for the CGIAR. It finds that global MSP practice emphasizes collective action across scales to address complex challenges, unlike agricultural research partnerships which focus more on local impacts. Good practice entails linking local and global partnership platforms to achieve systemic change and scale impacts. The CGIAR should engage in MSP architectures by playing different roles like service provider and trusted advisor, and establish the scientific basis for linking partnerships with impact at scale.

It addresses the following key points: 1) Putting local people and their knowledge, varieties/breeds, forest foods, and cultural practices at the center of interventions. 2) Taking a "whole of diet" approach that considers the diversity of foods needed, including cereals, tubers, roots, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, meat/fish, and insects, to meet nutritional needs. 3) Bioversity is developing tools to document local food biodiversity, composition, consumption, seasonality, and affordability to identify opportunities to promote production and consumption of local

Developing foresight capacity - Albino Maggio

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

This document summarizes a foresight exercise conducted by the JRC on global food security by 2030. It defines foresight as a process that explores future changes through qualitative and quantitative analysis to support shaping future strategies. The exercise gathered experts to identify key drivers of change and develop a vision of a preferred future where food security ensures adequate supply. The vision emphasizes a demand-driven, sustainable food system through trade, regulation and governance. Challenges to the vision include uncertainty around trade, urbanization's impact, and need for EU policy coherence across a food systems approach.

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

This document discusses a breakout session on the role of "future crops" in subsistence farming and market-oriented agriculture. It focuses on examples like pearl millet, which tolerates high temperatures, and bambara nut, which grows in sandy soils. These "future crops" provide nutrition, climate resilience, and can be profitable for farmers in certain contexts. The session addressed how opportunities to improve productivity for crops like pulses, millets, tef, fonio, and quinoa have increased incomes in places where they are well-suited to local conditions and diets.

Holger Meinke Evaluating science quality

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

The document discusses evaluating the quality of science. It notes that current approaches are narrow and metric-driven. It argues that science quality should be judged based on its contribution to achieving desirable societal outcomes. Good science requires drawing other stakeholders into the process and recognizing that impact occurs through value chains involving cooperation. Innovation encompasses scientific and other activities, and evaluating science quality requires looking at both performance and behavior in achieving impact.

The document discusses how to realize the potential of agriculture for nutrition. It outlines three sub-questions: 1) What are the potential pathways between agriculture and nutrition? 2) How often are these pathways created and traveled? 3) What needs to be done to increase the chances of linking agriculture and nutrition? While macro-level studies show agriculture improves poverty, its impact on nutrition is unclear. Few impact studies have rigorously evaluated agriculture-nutrition links. More studies are needed, especially on biofortification. The document argues that nutrition should be the primary goal of public agriculture to truly realize its potential for improving nutrition.

Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi, India: Making Agriculture Work for Nutri...

Tata-Cornell Agriculture and Nutrition Initiative (TCi), Cornell University

The past 50 years have been a period of extraordinary food crop productivity and growth. Despite these massive gains in productivity and agricultural development, malnutrition has persisted across certain regions of the developing world. In India, these challenges, which range from micronutrient malnutrition and the emergence of over-nutrition, have created a challenging landscape of health and human nutrition. Despite exceptional economic growth, high rates of childhood stunting and micronutrient malnutrition persist. Improved agricultural policies that can change nutritional outcomes require a better understanding of the links between agriculture and nutrition, as well as complimentary policies in water, sanitation, and household behavior change. This lecture presents international lessons learned in successfully using agricultural pathways to reduce malnutrition with important implications for the Indian context. Distinguished Lecture given at the Institute of Economic Growth, University of Delhi, India, on March 10, 2014.

Agri-food innovation: Pathways to Impact

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

This document summarizes key points from a presentation on agri-food innovation and pathways to impact. It discusses how the introduction of IR8 rice in 1967 dramatically increased yields from 1.5 to 10 tons per hectare. It notes that the global agri-food system is currently falling short on goals like food security and sustainability. The presentation argues that both incremental improvements as well as transformational changes are needed. It provides examples of both incremental changes like increases in herd sizes and transformational changes in the dairy system in an unnamed location. Finally, it stresses that technologies do not exist in isolation and discusses the need for alignment across innovation portfolios, funding, integration, talent management and impact monitoring to achieve goals.

DNA fingerprinting of plant material from farmers fields:What have we learned...

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

DNA fingerprinting of plant material from farmers' fields has provided new insights. Traditional surveys relying on farmer self-reporting often overestimate adoption of improved varieties. Eight new studies using DNA fingerprinting found adoption rates were typically lower than reported. False positive and negative rates varied by crop and country. On average, only 40-60% of samples were correctly identified as improved or local varieties. Low genetic purity was also common, with many samples consisting of mixed varieties. These findings have implications for understanding impacts of new varieties and for seed systems.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
