Nutrition studies in the Lancet
Two studies on nutrition from the International Food Policy Research Institute have been published recently in the Lancet, a leading medical journal. The first study finds that feeding very young children a high-energy, high-protein supplement leads to increased economic productivity in adulthood, especially for men. Boys who received the supplement in the first two years of life earned on average 46 percent higher wages as adults. This study is the first to present direct evidence of the effec… Continue

Iron deficiency is the single biggest nutritional threat in developing countries. A recent study by the International Food Policy Research Institute and Cornell University found that a nutritional supplement known as Sprinkles reduces anemia in young children by more than half. Sprinkles can be easily and inexpensively incorporated into existing feeding programs.

Essays on media and development
Everyone in this network understands that journalists play a crucial role in development. We have all seen amazing coverage...and coverage that was not so amazing.

Sorry for my delayed reply.
Now I remember where and when we met. If I remember it right, it was an All Saints' Day then.
It was also unfortunate that I failed to attend the Melbourne conference. But I'm very thankful that Mike created this social network so all of us now have a chance to meet and have an exchange of information, ideas etc.
Yes, I will surely appreciate if you could send me materials from your org. Thanks in advance. And will send you the articles from your materials.
And I will surely inform you if I pass by your side of the planet. Thanks.
Please let me know if you need information on anything. Also, please send any articles you've written based on our material (it's hard to know from here when something gets published in the Philippines...)
If you plan a visit to Washington, let me know.
I think we've met in a conference here in Manila a few years ago. Am I correct? And since then I've been receiving materials from IFRI through you. Please don't hesitate to send me new materials if you have one. I publish them in our paper's science page which I edit or as background materials in our stories. Best regards. Let's keep in touch.
