Abstract/Description
Food is more than a basic need; what we eat is intrinsically linked to culture and many other factors, and diets have evolved over generations. Good nutrition is important, but supporting healthy diets in practice and at scale involves tackling challenges—cultural, economic, or practical—that often boil down to gender dynamics and other constraints facing families.
