Linking the dots to end hunger and malnutrition (Reuters)

August 08, 2019


Reuters published an opinion piece in which the authors argued the current barriers to improving nutrition globally. The authors described factors contributing to global malnutrition, including relative caloric prices for different foods across countries. They cited Derek Headey and Harold Alderman’s innovative new study that compared relative caloric prices (RCPs) for different food categories across 176 countries. They found that nutrient-dense foods like eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables can be very expensive in poorer countries, which makes it harder to diversify away from nutrient-sparse staples.
