The pivotal role of mapping and understanding the food environments cannot be overstated. By discerning the types and sources of our food, we gain the ability to address potential health issues at their root. This proactive approach ensures that consumers are not only informed about their food, but also have access to safe and nutritious options at the source.

Funded by the European Union, the Healthy Diets 4 Africa (HD4A) project aims to better understand how to combat all forms of malnutrition. The overall research objective of the study component presented here is to map and assess the internal and external food environments and associated value chains that supply nutrient-dense foods to these environments among identified subpopulations of people at risk of malnutrition in Uganda.
