Looking Back
The title of this book is derived from Bible verses pertaining to when God commanded Lot and his wife to leave the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, to escape from His anger raining down on the city.

They did not bother...
Addressing the climate change and poverty nexus
Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development.

Determining key research areas for healthier diets and sustainable food systems in Viet Nam
Vietnamese food systems are undergoing rapid transformation, with important implications for human and environmental health and economic development. Poverty has decreased, and diet quality and undernutrition have improved significantly since the end of the Doi Moi reform period (1986-1993) as a result of Viet Nam opening its economy and increasing its regional and global trade. Yet poor diet quality is still contributing the triple burden of malnutrition, with 25 percent stunting among children under age 5, 26 percent and 29 percent of women and children, respectively, anemic, and 21 percent of adults overweight. Agricultural production systems have shifted from predominantly diverse smallh...
