Grounded in empirical research from rural Tanzania, Dietary Diversity for Sustainable Development delves into the crucial intersection of food systems, culture, gender, and nutrition, highlighting actionable strategies for improving nutritional outcomes among women of reproductive age.
Key Findings • Research in Tanzania has focused on cultivated food environments in rural contexts, while urban and peri-urban contexts, and market food environments are understudied; • Seasonality limits affordability and availability of nutritious foods; wild food environments may help maintain diet quality and food security, but access to them is threatened by deforestation and conservation efforts; • Informal food vendors are important sources of fruit and vegetables in urban areas.
This collection acknowledges the expanding influence of digital platforms in South Africa. While digital spaces offer the potential for greater inclusivity and grassroots participation, they also replicate the economic and structural inequalities such as data control, algorithmic biases, and the commodification of self-expression.
