HealthBridge Deputy Director Peter Berti had a letter published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. He was responding to a paper in which the authors argued that diversity of farm production is not linked to dietary diversity. This is contrary to what many who work in nutrition-sensitive agriculture think and have observed, and is important, as increasing dietary diversity is a key strategy for improving diet and health.

Peter’s letter pointed out a limitation of the analyses presented in the paper, which suggests that the reality is more nuanced than the original paper presents.

The paper, Peter’s letter and a response from the authors are all gated, but an excerpt can be read here.
