This book was released on 1981 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A handbook on nutrition intervention to reach preschool children identifies major factors that professionals should consider in planning, designing, funding, operating, and evaluating nutrition programs in developing countries. Conceptual frameworks are presented for the intervention design and evaluation. These frameworkscover definition of the problem, design questions, and cost/effectiveness considerations. Design questions are specific to type of intervention. The 7 types of intervention programs examined are: supplementary feeding; nutrition education; fortification; formulated foods; consumer subsidies; agricultural production, and integrated programs (i.e. integrated with health care). Much data is presented in tabular form and a bibliography is included. (rkm).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The food problems now facing the world-scarcity and starvation, contamination and illness, overabundance and obesity-are both diverse and complex. What are their causes? How severe are they? Why do they persist? What are the solutions? The authors of the more than sixty international case studies contained in these books approach the food system with a multidisciplinary perspective. In three volumes that serve as valuable teaching tools, they call upon the wisdom of disciplines including economics, nutrition, sociology, anthropology, environmental science, medicine, and geography to create a holistic picture of the state of the world's food systems today. The authors focus in on specific cases from all corners of the globe to cover topics including drought and soil conservation; land allocation and cooperative marketing efforts; and food safety measures and advertising policies. In documenting past successes and failures, these case studies provide a valuable foundation for future research and efforts to create truly successful and sustainable food policy."--Pub. desc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Fortification in a Globalized World outlines experiences over the past 50 years—and future potential—for the application of food fortification across a variety of foods in the industrialized and developing world. The book captures recent science and applications trends in fortification, including emerging areas such as biofortification, nutraceuticals and new nutrient intake recommendations, standards, policy and regulation. The book proposes a balanced and effective food fortification strategy for nations to adopt. In covering the most technical scientific details in an approachable style, this work is accessible to a range of practitioners in industry, government, NGOs, academia and research. Food fortification has become an increasingly significant strategy to address gaps in micronutrient intakes in populations with measurable impact in both industrialized and developing countries. While the positive impacts are well recognized there are new concerns in some countries that excessive fortification of foods, outdated nutritional labeling rules and misleading marketing tactics used by food manufacturers may result in young children consuming harmful amounts of some vitamins and minerals. - Presents the latest science on fortification for the prevention of micronutrient deficiencies - Includes emerging areas such as biofortification, nutraceuticals and new nutrient intake recommendations, standards, regulations, practices and policies from around the world - Summarizes evidence of application of food fortification and measured impact on public health - Discusses how public policy impacts fortification of foods and nutritional deficiencies - Considers the complex economics of and market for fortified foods

Book excerpt: Abstract: Case studies identifying and describing actual problem situations facing decision-makers trying to design, promote, and manage Third World nutrition programs are presented. Conceptual readings derived from research on nutrition programs present a comprehensive view of nutrition policy and management problems and issues. Half of the people in the developing world are malnourished (over 1 billion do not meet daily calorie requirements, with 895 million having calorie deficits exceeding 250 cal/day). Malnutrition is most prevalent in Asia (78%), followed by Africa (10%). Both continents have 60% of their population with 250 cal/day deficits. Material covered includes: international agencies and programs dealing with malnutrition; various nutrition programs and operating problems in specific countries; supplementary feeding programs and formulated foods; fortification; nutritional enhancement of corn via genetic breeding; attempts to improve nutrition via changing the food marketing system and the use of subsidies; combined nutrition-population-health intervention programs; and design and implementation of a national nutrition plan.

Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Download or read book Nutrition for Developing Countries written by Felicity Savage King and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition is an essential component of the work of all health and community workers, including those involved in humanitarian assistance, and yet it is often neglected in their basic training. Drawn from the experiences of an international editor team with extensive field experience, Nutrition for Developing Countries brings together the essential basics of nutrition in an easily accessible form which is accurate, up-to-date and practical, and suitable for a wide range of readers at different levels. The book covers the whole life cycle, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, older children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, with an emphasis on the most vulnerable women and children. The fully revised and updated edition addresses both the long standing problems of undernutrition and malnutrition, and the growing epidemic of overnutrition and obesity, which are responsible for the rapid increase in non-communicable diseases of later life. Generously illustrated, Nutrition for Developing Countries explains in clear simple language, and practical detail, how nutrition workers can help families with nutrition problems, including many ideas for exercises for training nutrition workers.
