This book "Nutritional Anthropology" is a collective applied research carried out for the purpose of genera nutrition planning and specific programme development as well as evaluation of ongoing research programmes. This study also focuses on more specialized methodological concerns intended not only for anthropologists but also for researchers in other disciplines. All the chapters in this book are written with the assumption that specific kinds of quantified data would be gathered against a background of general enthnographic information.
