A social-ecological trap theory-informed investigation of dietary patterns in southwestern Madagascar

Of the four dietary patterns identified in southwestern Madagascar, two are characterized as higher-quality and two as undernourishing dietary patterns. Each dietary pattern comprises individuals of varying demographic and socio-economic status. Understanding dietary patterns and who follows them enables policymakers and public health practitioners to better understand who may be most affected by the impacts of social and ecological change on the food system, thereby improving the targeting of nutritional interventions.
