19 Nov 2019 --- A survey of over 6,000 sub-Saharan family households has revealed that nearly 40 percent experience severely unreliable access to food, while nearly 50 percent have inadequate diversity in their diet. This puts them at risk for micronutrient deficiencies. Nutrition-specific interventions are crucial to guaranteeing sufficient dietary intake, the study concludes. The researchers also found that promoting crop and livestock diversity as well as nutrition education was more beneficial to securing food and nutritious diets than merely increasing household incomes.
