The effects of food systems interventions on food security and nutrition outcomes in LMICs

The effects of food systems interventions on food security and nutrition outcomes in LMICs

Background

The devastating impacts of malnutrition and food insecurity are well documented. In low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs), constraints and complexities within food systems are significant drivers of these conditions. As a result, there has been a significant global focus on improving food systems to facilitate better food security and nutrition outcomes. The evidence base regarding the impact of interventions within food systems in achieving these aims is massive, but complicated and disorganized, making it difficult for donors, policymakers and practitioners to navigate.
