“…Urban households reported prioritizing personal health and the natural content of food and would increase seafood and fruits if their income were to increase. In rural regions, interventions aimed at reducing undernutrition should address improving diet quality without significant increases to diet-related environmental impacts.…”

Short‐term impacts of COVID‐19 on food security and nutrition in rural Guatemala: Phone‐based farm household survey evidence by Ceballos, Francisco, Hernandez, Manuel A., Paz, Cynthia

“…We place special emphasis on changes in agricultural and nonagricultural income sources, including remittances, and changes in dietary diversity, including consumption of animal source foods (ASF) and fruits and vegetables (F&V). We find that COVID‐19 affected the incomes, food security, and dietary patterns of households, with a decrease in ASF diversity and an increase in F&V diversity, and an overall net decrease in dietary diversity across all food groups. …”

Assessing response fatigue in phone surveys: Experimental evidence on dietary diversity in Ethiopia by Abay, Kibrom A., Berhane, Guush, Hoddinott, John F., Tafere, Kibrom

“…This is driven by underreporting of infrequently consumed foods; the experimentally induced delay in the timing of mothers’ food consumption module led to a 40 and 11 percent decrease in the reporting of consumption of animal source foods, and fruits and vegetables, respectively. Our results are robust to changes in model specification and pass falsification tests. …”

Climate change adaptation strategies for Egypt’s agricultural sector: A ‘suite of technologies’ approach by Perez, Nicostrato D., Kassim, Yumna, Ringler, Claudia, Thomas, Timothy S., ElDidi, Hagar

“…For these crops, which include maize, oilseeds, pulses, and sugar, even stacking of technologies will not return productivity to pre-climate change levels. However, for fruits and vegetables, potatoes, rice, and wheat, crops less adversely affected by climate change, increased investments in climate changeresponsive crop traits, soil fertility improvement, water management, crop protection, or a combination of these technologies can counteract the adverse impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity. …”

Climate change and Egypt’s agriculture by Perez, Nicostrato D., Kassim, Yumna, Ringler, Claudia, Thomas, Timothy S., ElDidi, Hagar

“…The highest biophysical yield declines are estimated for maize, sugar crops, and fruits and vegetables. Moreover, due to the country’s dependence on food imports, Egypt is not only affected by climate change impacts at home, but also by impacts in other food producing countries. …”

Maintaining food and nutrition security in Myanmar during the COVID-19 crisis: Lessons from India’s lockdown by Researchers of the International Food Policy Research Institute and Michigan State University, Headey, Derek D.

“…A stable and reliable agri-food system requires free movements of a wide range of food products (including micronutrient-rich fruits, vegetables and animal-sourced foods) as well as essential non-food goods. • Monitor food markets and agricultural value chains as closely as possible to address problems when they do arise. • Reduce risk of COVID-19 contagion by improving hygiene in Myanmar’s food markets. • Issue clear directives to police, military, and local authorities not to impede the movement of goods. …”

Designing interventions in local value chains for improved health and nutrition: Insights from Malawi by Donovan, Jason, Gelli, Aulo

“…Available evidence highlights the dominance of maize in diets, but also the willingness of rural households to consume other nutritious foods (e.g. leafy greens, tree fruits, dried fish) during the year. Addressing the supply constraints (e.g. low productivity, seasonality) and demand constraints (e.g. low income, preference for maize) along local value chains will require carefully sequenced interventions within and across value chains. …”

A description of local pig feeding systems in village smallholder farms of Western Kenya by Mutua, Florence K., Dewey, Catherine E., Arimi, S.M., Ogara, W., Levy, M., Schelling, E.

“…Sweet potatoes, “ugali” and cassava were available and could serve as good sources of energy for pigs in the district. Fruits and vegetables were also available and could potentially act as good sources of vitamins. …”

Quantitation of mycotoxins in food and feed from Burkina Faso and Mozambique using a modern LCMS/MS multitoxin method by Warth, B., Parich, A., Atehnkeng, J., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit, Schuhmacher, R., Sulyok, M., Krska, R.

“…Overall, 63 metabolites were determined in 122 samples of mainly maize and groundnuts and a few samples of sorghum, millet, rice, wheat, soy, dried fruits, other processed foods and animal feeds. Aflatoxin B1 was observed more frequently in maize (Burkina Faso, 50% incidence, median = 23.6 μg/kg; Mozambique, 46% incidence, median = 69.9 μg/kg) than in groundnuts (Burkina Faso, 22% incidence, median = 10.5 μg/kg; Mozambique, 14% incidence, median = 3.4 μg/kg). …”
