Key Points

  • Strong awareness of dietary diversity at 72%, yet practical application limited by unemployment and food scarcity.
  • Mixed-methods approach combined quantitative surveys with qualitative focus group discussions for comprehensive insights.
  • Integrative interventions emphasizing community involvement are critical for sustainable nutrition outcomes in arid lands.
