Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staples in Nepal providing bulk food calories and at least 30% Fe Zn intake 20% dietary energy protein consumption; thus, it essential to improve its nutritional quality. To select high-yielding genotypes with elevated grain zinc iron concentration, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth HarvestPlus Yield Trials (HPYTs) were conducted across diverse locations for four consecutive years: 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, using 47 biofortified 3...
Pathways through which agricultural production may influence markets, household food security, dietary patterns and nutritional status remain incompletely understood. While cross-sectional surveys are common, national, population-based, standardized data collection systems that annually monitor local services, intake be needed to understand time trends relationships. We describe the design methods of an annual nationally representative series households with preschool aged children in 7...
