dc.descriptionTo ensure overall health and reduce risk of non-communicable disease (NCDs), a healthy diet low in fat, sugars and salt and high in fruit and vegetables (F&V) is recommended. In most population groups, however, F&V intake is below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 400 g per person/day. In Tanzania, a recent scoping review found that F&V intake was below recommended levels in all population groups examined. Low F&V intake is due to a complex interplay of desirability, affordability, accessibility and availability. The CGIAR Research Initiative on Fruit and Vegetables for Sustainable Healthy Diets (FRESH), now under the CGIAR Science Program on Better Diets and Nutrition (BDN), is designing an end-to-end approach to be evaluated in Northern Tanzania, as previously described in the Research Brief 1. A baseline survey was implemented, and dietary intake and nutrient adequacies among women of reproductive age (WRA, 15-49 years of age) participating in the baseline survey were summarized elsewhere. Here we provide a deep dive into fruit intake among these women.
