Seasonality and diversity of fish consumption in poor rural households in Bangladesh
High Fish Production Season
Source of Micronutrients
Average Household Recommendations:
40% vitamin A
32% calcium
Understanding landscape opportunities/challenges:
local land type classification and seasonal flooding
Integrating lessons learned in AAS productivity and nutrition initiatives
11
• Agriculture learning plots – Promoting nutritional diversity across different seasons
– Selection of foods grown according to landscape opportunities
– Consideration of gender access/use and land types
• Nutrition education and behaviour change communication – Building on seasonal calendars and recipes using nutrient-rich foods
– Promoting community ownership
