Join the LANSA IDS Bulletin launch live on February 7!

There is currently much talk of the private sector role in nutrition, and whether the state can ‘shape’ the market to deliver better nutritional outcomes. The forthcoming issue of the IDS Bulletin presents research findings in this area developed under the Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in South Asia (LANSA) programme underway in Afghanistan, Bangaldesh, India and Pakistan.

The IDS Bulletin aims to analyse existing (or potential) agri-food value chain pathways for delivering nutritious foods from agriculture to vulnerable populations in South Asia, and discusses the role of both public and private actors in making these value chains more effective in achieving sustained increased consumption of nutrient-rich foods.

Can business as usual impact nutrition: Need for developing focused business strategies

India has a high prevalence of under-nutrition despite consistent economic growth in recent years; agriculture remains a major livelihood activity and direct source of food for a large section of the population. Dependence on the market for sourcing some or all food has increased in developing countries across the globe; an analysis of agri-food value chains with a nutritional lens assumes importance in this scenario.
