It is agriculture with a nutrition lens, and should not detract from the sector's own goals. The agriculture sector is best placed to influence food production and the consumption of nutritious foods necessary for healthy and active lives. Agricultural productivity, focused primarily on staple grains, does not necessarily reduce under nutrition. Policies that strongly favor staple grains over other crops or foods may skew the balance from nutritious foods.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FOODAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTUREANEMIAANIMAL HUSBANDRYCASH CROPSCASSAVACEREALSCHILD HEALTHCONSUMER DEMANDCONVENTIONAL BREEDINGDAIRYDIETDIETARY DIVERSITYECONOMIC GROWTHFEEDINGFOOD ACCESSFOOD AVAILABILITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD FORTIFICATIONFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLYFOOD TECHNOLOGYFOODSGRAINSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD FOOD INSECURITYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXHUNGERINCOME POVERTYIRONIRON DEFICIENCYIRRIGATIONMAIZEMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIESMICRONUTRIENTSMILKMINERALNUTRIENTNUTRIENT CONTENTNUTRITIONNUTRITION EDUCATIONNUTRITION KNOWLEDGENUTRITION OUTCOMESNUTRITIONAL CONSEQUENCESNUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCYNUTRITIONAL IMPROVEMENTSNUTRITIONAL OUTCOMESNUTRITIONAL STATUSOBESITYOVERNUTRITIONPACKAGINGPOORPOTATOPULSESRICERISK MANAGEMENTRURALRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFEGUARD ANALYSISSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL MEALSSNACKSSURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIESSWEET POTATOUNDERNUTRITIONVEGETABLE OILSVITAMINVITAMIN AWFPWHEAT10.1596/16953
