Descripción

The research undertaken in this project aimed to understand the role markets and value chains play in improving nutrition and dietary diversification both directly, through an increase in the production of nutritious foods sourced from smallholders in Sierra Leone, and indirectly, through an increase in income for smallholder farmers. Similarly, smallholder farmers can diversify their diet and improve their nutritional status either by producing more nutritious foods directly or by accessing mor e nutritious and diverse foods in markets through a rise in their disposable incomes.
