Our Services
We provide research consulting services in the nutrition and allied sectors through four verticals.
Research in agriculture and agribusiness drives innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the industry. New technologies and innovative farming practices need to be scaled-up for promoting dietary diversity, higher yields, reduced farm wastes, reduce pollution, and protect natural resources. Additionally, research in this sector can help farmers and agribusinesses to develop marketing strategies by identifying market opportunities, consumer preferences and trends. Some specific research services that we provide in this segment are:
- Agri-tech innovations and implementation research
- Productivity research
- Biofortification studies
- Value Chain Analysis
Populations world-wide are bearing a triple burden of undernutrition, obesity, and micronutrient deficiency. Research informing dietary guidelines, food policies, and public health interventions are essential. However, there is also a need of implementation research and a multi-disciplinary approach bringing together nutrition expertise, behavioural scientist, communication and media stakeholders, program implementers, and public health researchers to design and implement targeted interventions. Some specific research services that we provide in this segment are:
- Large-scale food fortification surveys
- Impact evaluation
- Sensory trials and consumer acceptability studies
- Market coverage surveys
- Food systems assessment
- Systematic Reviews
Climate change and shift in weather patterns can have significant effects on food production and nutrient content of crops especially staple foods. Disruptions in food supply chains due to weather conditions can also adversely affect food safety and food security. Research on mitigating the impact of climate change on food and nutrition security is therefore one of the key focus areas for FSMRI. Some specific research services that we provide in this segment are:
- Impact of climate on nutrition
- Carbon credits evaluation
- Sustainability analysis
The food industry and markets significantly shape the dietary patterns and choices of individuals impacting people’s consumption habits and overall nutrition. Assessing the nutrient composition of food products, nutrition labelling, and pricing policies influencing people’s consumption behaviour are effective tools for food industry regulation. Also, scaling of innovative nutritional products needs an understanding of consumer preferences and behaviours. Market research in the food industry can be an effective instrument promoting public health nutrition considerations in the food industry and be a governance food system monitoring tool. Some specific research services that we provide in this segment are:
- Market studies
- Product research
- Consumer research
- Business Analysis
