Items related to Nutrition Matters: People, food and famine
Nutrition Matters presents valuable new approaches to food security and nutrition, based on the authors' experiences as fieldworkers working in areas where there is food insecurity and famine, and their in-depth knowledge of the discipline of nutrition. The authors develop a new conceptual framework of the role of nutrition in famine which can be used to analyse the underlying causes of malnutrition, the stage of famine, and the risk of disease and death. This is useful as a basis for nutritional assessments, for identifying appropriate interventions, and targeting strategies. Practical suggestions for carrying out assessments and for alternative interventions are given. The types of institutional and political change needed for successful implementation of appropriate interventions are also considered. This book is not just for nutritionists, but for anyone who wants to alleviate famine, food insecurity and malnutrition. The book is aimed at people actually working in famine situations and at institutions concerned with nutritional emergencies, who may want to, or be able to, apply some of the lessons learned. It will also be useful to those with a more theoretical interest wanting a detailed and searching analysis of nutrition in relation to famine.
