Dietary agrobiodiversity for improved nutrition and health outcomes within a transitioning indigenous Solomon Island food system
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115412
Abstract
Indigenous food systems of Pacific Small Island Developing Countries contain vast biological and cultural diversity. However, a nutrition transition is underway, characterized by shifts away from traditional diets in favour of imported and modern foods, contributing to some of the highest rates of obesity and Diabetes Type 2 Mellitus in the world. Using a mixed…

A gap analysis modeling framework to prioritize collecting for ex situ conservation of crop landraces
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116572
Abstract
Aim: The conservation and effective use of crop genetic diversity is crucial to overcome challenges related to human nutrition and agricultural sustainability. Farmers’ traditional varieties (“landraces”) are major sources of genetic variation. The degree of representation of crop landrace diversity in ex situ conservation is poorly understood, partly due to a lack of methods that can…

Abstract
Although the African continent is considered as the most diverse region in the world in terms of wild and cultivated foods, especially Sub-Saharan Africa remains the world’s most food in-secure region. Regarding the requirements for healthy and nutritious diets, the potentials of many edible plant species remain unexploited. To better…

Abstract
Data was collected at 3 levels: the households using in-depth interviews, market vendors by geocoding, mapping, stock inventorying and verbal interviews; and policy makers using key informant interviews. The purpose of the study was to assess Turkana’s food environment and evaluate its influence on diet quality by: • Assessing the distribution of food vendors, and their vendor type, in Turkana County • Assessing household food environments, including food…

Abstract
This study is based on a community-based participatory project, running in Kenya since 2015 and aiming to diversify diets of women and children by making use of local food biodiversity. An impact study indicated that dietary diversity of women and children increased through the project. Using a theoretical agriculture-nutrition framework, we assessed the pathways that have led to…
