This paper examines the literature on how biodiversity contributes to improved and diversified diets in developing countries. We assess the current state of evidence on how wild and cultivated biodiversity in all forms is related to healthy diets and nutrition, and examine how economic factors, knowledge and social norms interact with availability of biodiversity to influence both production and consumption choices. The paper identifies areas where evidence is lacking and ways to build synergies between nutrition-sensitive approaches and efforts to ensure sustainability of food systems and the natural environment.

- Agricultural intensification, dietary diversity, and markets in the global food security narrative (2019, background): “In the last few years, several important papers have been published which investigate these relationships empirically (Sibhatu et al., 2015; Kumar et al., 2015; Powell et al., 2015; Koppmair et al., 2017; Hirvonen and Hoddinott 2017; Jones 2017a).”
- Farm production diversity and dietary quality: linkages and measurement issues (2018, background): “Often, the promotion of production diversity on smallholder farms is seen as a promising strategy (Burlingame and Dernini 2012; Fanzo et al. 2013; Powell et al. 2015).”
