=Animal-source food initiative planning meeting, London, 2-3 February 2015=
 * Information Sheet**

**Proposed Schedule for Workshop on ** **Realizing the Potential of Animal Source Foods for Human Nutrition in the Developing World ** **2-3 February 2015 ** **LCIRAH, London ** To outline an immediate set of short-term research needs and opportunities and a more long-term research and coalition-building agenda that supports and strengthens the role of Animal Source Foods (ASF) in efforts to improve nutrition and food security for low-income populations in developing country settings. The meeting will explore how such an agenda could be shaped as a major research and policy initiative. The output expected from the meeting will be agreed upon directions for a coordinated research agenda and grant proposals moving forward, and options for a high-level event on the topic.
