New Delhi: In collaboration with Rutgers University, US and other international partners, George Institute for Global Health (GIGH) promises to reopen India’s malnutrition response to malnutrition to malnutrition by helping a new toolkit, map and its complex food environment. The study published in the current developments in nutrition, how does the availability of nutritional results in lower and moderate-oriented countries such as India (LMICS) address the availability, ability and access.GIGH is an independent medical research organization, which focuses on improving the health of millions of people worldwide, especially living in deprived settings. Established in 1999 and headquarters in Sydney, it operates major research centers in India, China and UK.Under the leadership of Shuna Downs and Suparna Ghosh-Jereth from George Institute, the research introduces a “food environment toolbox” that includes seven practical equipment such as participation mapping and market assessment. These devices were operated in rural, urban and urban areas in India and Cambodia.India’s food landscape is changing rapidly, increasing market dependence does not match better nutrition. “We developed a toolbox through a recurring process, ensuring that it reflects the realities of LMIC,” Dr. Ghosh-Jereth said. The country continues to fight with a double burden-increases the shortcomings of dietary diseases as well as nutrients. National surveys reveal severe anemia between women and children, only underlining the need for dietary quality on calorie adequacy.The new toolkit aligned major nutritional schemes such as Poson campaign, ICDS, and mid-day meal schemes with regional food realities more closely. Dr. Downs said, “The equipment was favorable in diverse contexts,” Dr. Down said, “Timely steps towards evidence-based nutrition policy” said Down.
