Additional environmental pressures such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation continue to disproportionately impact those who are most vulnerable. Inclusive models of co-operative action, as emphasised in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, are valued for their potential to solve development challenges, promote sustainable development outcomes, and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. International co-operation policy plays a crucial role in shaping how these international partnerships play out in practice. Over the several decades, the international development co-operation landscape has been shifting with a push for more ‘horizontal’ partnerships. Triangular co-operation is a potential model of partnership that embraces inclusivity and horizontality and is seen as a means to achieve the sustainable development agenda. In Australia, the election of a new federal government in May 2022 brought with it a renewed commitment to official development assistance and development co-operation policy and partnerships. The aim of this commentary is to take stock, pause, and reflect on how Australia currently ‘does development partnerships’ as well as looking to the future and the opportunities for change.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"186 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84556413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ickowitz","doi":"10.26596/wn.202213429-45","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26596/wn.202213429-45","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Low consumption of fruits and vegetables among children can lead to deprivation of micronutrients necessary for growth and development and predispose them to NCDs later in life. Low consumption of these nutrient-rich foods is related to high consumption of nutrient-poor, high-energy foods, which leads to childhood overweight and obesity. Many children do not consume enough fruits and vegetables to meet recommendations. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of animated interventions in increasing children's fruit and vegetable consumption. \u0000Methods: Articles on animated interventions for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption among children were systematically reviewed from Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. For the literature searches, inclusion and exclusion criteria were established, and the methodology followed the PRISMA recommendations. Extracted data were synthesized to show the effectiveness of interventions. \u0000Results: Thirteen studies (2003-2017) of animated interventions targeting children (3-12 years) designed to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. Most of the studies (69.2%) were in the United States, with no studies in LMICs identified. The animation interventions used games (46.2%), characters (23.1%), adventures (23.1%), and comic books (7.7 %). 11 of the analysed studies revealed positive or neutral effects of interventions on fruit and vegetable consumption. Parental participation, goal setting, and rewards were identified as facilitators of success. Identified interventions were effective in the short term (follow-up <12months). The games and adventure interventions had the greatest effect, with multi-component interventions most effective in increasing fruit and vegetable intake. \u0000Conclusion: There is a need for more research to determine the effectiveness of such interventions over extended periods. Multi-component interventions especially including parental involvement, goal setting, and rewards should be leveraged in designing similar interventions in LMICs since there was a conspicuous absence of such studies found in the literature.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82098035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to assess double burden of malnutrition among mothers and their under-five children in rural communities of Ibadan, Nigeria. \u0000Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study adopted a two-stage random sampling to recruit 217 mother-child pairs from 18 rural communities in Ido and Akinyele Local Government Areas of Ibadan. A semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio-demographic characteristics and personal characteristics of mothers and their under-five children respectively. Anthropometric characteristics of mothers was obtained and their Body Mass Index (BMI) was determined using WHO classification. Children anthropometry was measured and expressed as stunting (height-for-age), wasting (weight-for-height) and underweight (weight-for-age) using WHO Anthro. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and correlation at 0.05 level of significance. \u0000Results: Age of mothers and under-five children were 32.3±6.2 years and 35.3±14.1 months respectively. Household size was 6.3±1.7 and 62.2% had no formal education. Underweight, overweight and obesity among mothers were 9.2%, 15.2% and 3.2%, respectively. Among children, underweight, stunting and wasting were 30.4%, 40.6% and 7.8%, respectively. Household size was significantly associated with stunting. Mothers’ BMI was positively and significantly correlated with height-for-age (r=0.173), weight-for-height (r=0.150) and weight-for-age (r=0.250) in children. \u0000Conclusion: This study confirms coexistence of double burden of malnutrition at household level in this rural areas of Ibadan, Nigeria. That is the concurrence of child undernutrition and maternal under and overnutrition in the same household surveyed, which was characterized by a high prevalence of undernutrition particularly stunting early in life. Therefore, a comprehensive nutritional programme that is context-specific targeted at rural women and their children should be implemented. \u0000Keywords: Overnutrition, Rural women, Under-five children, Nutritional status, undernutrition","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81679939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2005 I published a book titled Freedom From Want: The Human Right to Adequate food. (Kent 2005). Its preface was written by Jean Zeigler, the first United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, starting in 2000. He summarized my book, with a conclusion that in effect introduces this commentary: “Human rights are not only unashamedly utopian, but also eminently practical. Human rights can make a difference. It is time to make the right to food a reality.” This commentary discusses how the goal of making the right to food a reality could be expedited by developing a clear and widely shared understanding of what it means.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86392711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper was motivated by observations – in 2022 and historically – that the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS), in putting on its flagship International Congress of Nutrition (ICN), was leaving itself – and, by extension, participating scientists – open to conflicts of interest (COI). With contemporary scholarship on the commercial determinants of health making clear the ways in which this kind of sponsorship represents both a conflict of interest for nutrition events and a negative force in broader food system drivers of nutrition, this paper aims to document the issues surrounding the 2022 IUNS-ICN conference as historical record; draw on academic literature on conflict of interest to better understand the issue; and suggest some practical options moving towards COI-free nutrition events in the future.
