Abstract/Description
Key Findings
• Research in Tanzania has focused on cultivated food environments in rural contexts, while urban and peri-urban contexts, and market food environments are understudied;
• Seasonality limits affordability and availability of nutritious foods; wild food environments may help maintain diet quality and food security, but access to them is threatened by deforestation and conservation efforts;
• Informal food vendors are important sources of fruit and vegetables in urban areas.
