• The food security system: A new conceptual framework (2012, background): “…proper shelter, basic health care for disease and illness treatment and prevention including immunization, and related information and education campaigns all determine people's nutritional status indirectly through the link with health (Fay et al. 2005; Frongillo et al. 1997; Smith et al. 2005).”
• Food value chain transformations in developing countries: Selected hypotheses on nutritional implications (2013, background): “The literature shows that increased income opportunities reduce the risk of insufficient caloric intakes in developing country rural areas (e.g., Ndhleve et al. 2012; Smith et al. 2005; Pal 1999; Ruel et al. 1999; Bhuiya et al. 1986; Popkin 1998).”
