Abstract

Agricultural Research for Development can support nutrition.
An integrated approaches of nutrition sensitive agriculture interventions is needed, with more attention given to support structures.
Stimulating consumption, along side increased production, in necessary for agriculture research for development projects to have an impact on food intake.
Biofortified crops are more likely to be adopted when include other desirable characteristics such as dough tolerance.
