Bringing Communities to the Table
At our lab, we employ community-participatory and mixed methods approaches to:
1-Understand what are the structural and systems drivers of differences in diet (i.e. what we eat and drink).
2-Document what are the implications of these differences on the health, wellbeing and development of our communities.
3-Identify what needs to be done at the short, medium and long term to improve diets and their consequences.
