What We Do in the Project
We will mainly contribute to:
- Identifying health effects of indigenous and novel foods (WP 7.1)
- Assessing effects of food interventions/diversified diets on growth and body composition in stunted children (WP 7.3)
- Assessing adoption of food recipes on more diverse complementary foods and effects of these complementary foods on dietary diversity, nutrient adequacy and nutritional status of 6-23 month-old children (WP 5.2).
