Nutrition-Sensitive Agroecology Intervention in Rural Tanzania
There are urgent calls for the transformation of agriculture and food systems to address human and planetary health issues. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture and agroecology promise interconnected solutions to these challenges, but evidence of their impact has been limited.
This report examined whether a nutrition-sensitive agroecology intervention in rural Tanzania could improve children's dietary diversity, food insecurity, and child anthropometry. It also posited that such an intervention would improve sustainable agricultural practices (e.g., agrobiodiversity, intercropping), women's empowerment (e.g., participation in decision making, time use), and women's well-being (e.g., dietary diversity, depression).
