The following is a brief description of the article 'Nutrition and the Environment' that appear at the Development gateway.
''This article, by Johns and Eyzaguirre and published in the IFPRI website, adressess the relationship between nutrition and the environment. According to the authors, as community development priorities merge with those of environmental conservation, it becomes increasingly clear that unless human populations meet their basic survival needs they cannot afford to conserve. At the same time unless local communities protect the environments around them they have limited hope to thrive beyond the short term. As nutrition represents the most fundamental of human needs, it provides a useful perspective from which to address this paradox.''
