Micronutrient deficiencies are a major global health issue. Increasing animal source food (ASF) intake through sustainable programs offers a promising, cost-effective solution for improving nutrition in vulnerable populations.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Agricultural Development

Background:

  • Undernutrition causes have evolved from protein to energy, and now to micronutrient deficiencies.
  • Micronutrient malnutrition is recognized as the most prevalent nutritional problem globally.
  • Current strategies like supplementation and fortification have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the shift in nutrition program focus towards micronutrient deficiencies.
  • To highlight the benefits of food-based approaches, specifically animal source foods (ASF).
  • To present evidence on the positive association between ASF intake and micronutrient status.

Main Methods:

  • Review of past studies, including the Nutrition Collaborative Research Support Program (N-CRSP).

  • Analysis of intervention studies supported by the Global Livestock CRSP.
  • Examination of economic benefits and innovative programs for animal ownership in poor communities.

    • Main Results:

    • Strong positive association found between animal source food (ASF) intake, micronutrient status, and human functions.
    • Intervention studies demonstrated benefits from increasing ASF intake.
    • Evidence presented on the economic viability and positive impacts of animal ownership in resource-limited settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Increasing animal source food (ASF) intake is a viable strategy to combat micronutrient malnutrition.
    • Animal ownership can provide economic benefits and improve dietary quality in poor communities.
    • Enhanced collaboration between nutrition, agriculture, and development sectors is crucial for improving global dietary quality.
