Food availability alone doesn't explain adolescent diets in Viet Nam

Original: Food is always close by: Why availability alone doesn’t explain adolescent diets in Viet Nam

IFPRI researchers argue that simply having food readily available does not determine what adolescents in Viet Nam actually eat. The analysis suggests that factors beyond availability, such as preferences, affordability and food environments, shape young people's diets. The piece is prompting discussion about how nutrition policy should look past supply alone when addressing adolescent diets.

Why now: A new IFPRI analysis challenges the common assumption that food availability is the main driver of adolescent eating habits, sparking debate among nutrition researchers and policymakers.
