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
