Linear Programming Approach to Develop Local Specific Food-based Complementary Feeding Recommendation

March 27, 2019 updated by: Dr.Umi Fahmida, SEAMEO Regional Centre for Food and Nutrition

Utilization of Linear Programming Approach to Develop Local Specific Food-based Complementary Feeding Recommendation for Stunting and Anemia Prevention Among Under-two Children

Stunting and anemia amongst under-two children are attributable to poor nutrient intakes. The study evaluates the effectiveness of nutrition education on local specific food-based complementary feeding recommendation (CFR) to improve dietary patterns and nutritional intakes, as well as reduce stunting and anemia among under-two children.
