The document titled "Effectiveness of Elements of Social Behavior Change Activities in Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Programs: A Systematic Review" examines the impact of various social behavior change (SBC) strategies on diet diversity within nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) programs. The review analyzed 65 interventions, identifying key agricultural pathways, including home food production and women’s empowerment, as crucial factors in improving dietary outcomes. The most effective SBC techniques were interpersonal communication and community-based approaches, particularly those that included participatory behavior change activities. The study concludes that more research is needed on underutilized pathways such as reducing food wastage and implementing SBC strategies effectively.
