| dc.description | THIS PAPER PRESENTS A SERIES OF GUIDELINES MEANT TO ENCOURAGE and assist Member Nations of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in addressing and including nutrition and health issues in their agricultural research planning and programmes. The paper explains why any nation seeking economic and social development should recognize that improving the nutrition of its population means a healthier workforce which is a vital component of any economic development plan. The ma in focus of these Guidelines is resource-poor farmers and low income rural families who derive their livelihoods from agriculture, yet are often food insecure. Rural people often lack the authority and confidence to coerce the research system to address their needs. These Guidelines have been developed in consultation with the stakeholders themselves. They take into account agronomic factors as well as gender-related issues; holistic approaches for their application; policy-level support; a nd institutional linkages. | |
