MALNUTRITION

The Food and Agricultural Approaches to Reducing Malnutrition trial evaluated a 3‐year Homestead Food Production intervention that promoted small‐scale poultry rearing, home gardening, and nutrition counseling among women's groups in rural Sylhet division, Bangladesh.The intervention increased poultry ownership, egg production, and improved poultry management practices.The intervention increased women's and children's egg consumption, with the strongest effects in year 3 of the intervention and evidence of sustained impacts post‐intervention.The impact of the Homestead Food Production program on women's egg consumption was partly mediated by increased poultry ownership.
