Scaling up of biofortified varieties is the key component of food-based approaches in addressing micronutrient deficiency. Orange-fleshed sweet potato varieties rich in b-carotene can address the vitamin A deficiency prevalent in rural and tribal areas. We developed a ‘sweet potato biofortification priority index’ (SPBPI), a strategic planning tool for identifying priority states for implementing biofortification field interventions. A scaling-up intervention ‘Rainbow Diet Campaign’ is being implemented in the ‘high-priority’ states, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh identified by SPBPIKeywords

This study aims to conceptualize dairy tourism as a niche tourism product. The main objective is to propose a dairy tourism (dairy tourist inclination) conceptual framework and empirically test the causal relationships of the same. The key contribution of the present study is the dairy tourism model. The findings of this study will help farmers and other stakeholders to plan and implement the concept effectively. The study also proposes dairy tourism as an additional income avenue for dairy farmers and a novel niche tourism product.Keywords
