Originally published in 1979, Development and the Problems of Village Nutrition was concerned with the development of micro-level approaches (and one in particular) to nutrition problem identification. The author believed that malnourishment could only really be examined, analysed and understood at the micro level where the whole range of factors affecting nutrition are displayed, and individual, community and regional problems could be diagnosed to provide the basis for more meaningful action and plans. The village-oriented approach to micro-level nutrition problems was initiated as a new approach to the study of development problems by the Village Studies Programme (VSP) at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in 1969. The research on which this book is based was conducted as part of the programme. Today it can be read in its historical context.
