250: Preventing Undernutrition & Improving Global Ag – Dr. Adegbola Adesogan

Protein Quality, Nutrient Bioavailability & A Global Perspective on Animal Agriculture While plant-source foods provide important nutrients in our diets, animal-source foods contain more bioavailable sources of multiple critically needed macro- and micronutrients that can contribute to proper physical and cognitive growth of children. In rural parts of developing countries, these animal-source foods are vital for preventing undernutrition and allowing proper growth and brain development in children. Tune into this episode to learn about: ·       The latest research on animal-source foods in healthy and sustainable diets ·       Nutrient intake of children in developing countries ·       How developing countries approach sustainable agriculture differently than the U.S. ·       Protein quality of different foods and food groups ·       Bioavailability of micro and macronutrients ·       Global biofortification efforts ·       Challenges in increasing consumption of animal-source foods in developing countries ·       A global perspective on animal agriculture ·       The Dublin Declaration of Scientists and the societal role of meat ·       Climate-smart approaches to livestock production ·       Pros/cons of cultured meat Full shownotes, transcript and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/250
