Nutrition

Country-specific case studies (copy 1)

Crop production

The crop sector is the largest of all the food sectors, providing sustenance for all the people in the world, representing over 50 percent of agricultural jobs worldwide. However, due to a lack of proven methodological tools, integrating nutrition in this sector remains challenging for policymakers and practitioners at all levels. FAO developed an approach that combines theory and practice to meet this gap by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. Click on the resources below to find out more.

Fisheries and aquaculture

The existing and potential contribution of capture fisheries and aquaculture to a country’s food security and nutrition can be significant. Still, due to a lack of proven methodological tools, integrating nutrition in this sector remains challenging for policymakers and practitioners at all levels. FAO developed an approach that combines theory and practice to meet this gap by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. Click on the resources below to find out more.

Forestry

Wild foods are an ecosystem service that contributes to global household food consumption. Yet, due to a lack of proven methodological tools, integrating nutrition into wild food production systems remains a challenge for policymakers and practitioners at all levels. FAO developed an approach that combines theory and practice to meet this gap by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. Click on the resources below to find out more.

Livestock

Livestock contributes to 40 percent of worldwide income from agriculture. Still, due to a lack of proven methodological tools, integrating nutrition into the livestock sector remains challenging for policymakers and programme managers at all levels. FAO developed an approach that combines theory and practice to meet this gap by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. Click on the resources below to find out more.
