Summary:

Abstract: Examines household-level food technologies that hold promise for improving nutrition of infants and young children. Reviews current knowledge of breastfeeding and weaning practices in eastern and southern Africa and discusses the use in weaning diets of fermented foods and germinated flour for both improved nutrient intake by young children and decreased risk of food contamination. Also discusses the effectiveness of this plan and its diffusion at the community level.
