I have two short responses that I hope will be considered by the discussion forum as useful appraoches to making agriculture work for nutrition:
1) include horticulture whenever agricultural development is considered -- fruits and vegetable are a good source of vitamins, micro-nutrients and phyto-nutrients at reasonable cost
2) pay more attention to reducing food losses and postharvest waste -- a lot of money, labor and natural resources are wasted on agricultural production if the foods are not eaten by people
