Integrating Geospatial Information for Healthier Food Systems in Rural Ethiopia
Explore the application of geospatial information to enhance food production, diets, and nutrition in rural Ethiopia. The research assesses essential nutrients, food diversity, micronutrient deficiencies, and nutrition status to support a sustainable food system. Follow the progress of PhD candidate Habtamu Guja Bayu as he delves into the complexities of improving food systems through geospatial analysis.

Applying geospatial information to integrate food production, diets and nutrition status for a healthier food systems in rural Ethiopia PhD Research Progress Habtamu Guja Bayu Supervisors: Dr Mariana Belgiu (ITC), Dr Kaleab Baye (AAU), Prof. Alfred Stein (ITC) October 12 2023 Ethiopian Education Network to Support Agricultural Transformation EENSAT Project 1
Objectives: Examining adequacy of essential nutrients from local production [macro- and micronutrient, anti-nutrients, relative bioavailability, determining the proportion at risk of inadequate nutrient intake] Evaluating the associations between food production diversity and intra- household dietary diversity from agroecologically diverse rural areas in Ethiopia Determinants of micronutrient deficiencies among women and nutrition status of children: a multilevel analysis from rural Ethiopia. 2
Activities done so far Published first paper 3
Activities done so far Second paper is submitted & under review [Journal of Food Security] 4
Remaining activities Third paper Determinants of micronutrient deficiencies among women and nutrition status of children: a multilevel analysis from rural Ethiopia. Recently received the remaining lab results Currently, I am working on paper 3 The first draft will be ready by end of October Dissertation document [first draft] will be ready by end of November. PhD defense is tentatively scheduled towards end of February 2024. Date of my return to Ethiopia is not decided yet [Discussion supervisors/EENSAT] 5
