Food irony: Lack of it brings misery (IPP Media)
IPP Media published an article stating that the story of malnutrition in Tanzania is full of puzzles and ironies. For, even food basket zones such as southern highlands are the most affected as manifested in high rates of stunting in children under the age of five. But this is not unique to our country because data show that malnutrition happens even in wealthy countries in part because access to nutritious food depends on income. The Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) is undertaking the study in collaboration with IFPRI. The aim of the project is to find solutions for overcoming constraints hindering people from consuming healthy diets.
