Food value chains and nutrition: Exploring the opportunities for improving nutrition

Export citation

Introduction A major question from the nutrition perspective is how to sustainably improve the quality of diets, as well as other health-nutrition related behaviours, across diff erent low-income population groups. One emerging framework within which to identify interventions for improved nutrition involves value chains. The value chain framework focuses on actors that are involved in the production, processing and consumption of agrifood products, and asks what opportunities exist to achieve benefi cial nutrition outcomes through changes in the structures, systems and relationships within chains.
