To understand what is needed in tackling different aspects of inequity in agriculture for better nutrition and health, it is critical to understand what research already exists and what is missing. This will help identify how issues of marginalization and inequity are addressed in research. It is from this premise that Jody Harris and colleagues at the Institute of Development Studies carried out a scoping study of existing academic literature to identify gaps in knowledge that are preventing researchers, policymakers, activists and others from ensuring no one is left behind. Findings from the study were presented at a webinar held on 14 January 2020.
