Previous integrated interventions always seem to fall out of favour because the
next big challenge comes along
Can we predict what is the next big challenge and incorporate this into LA
thinking?

Agriculture
"Our findings suggest that deforestation and land use change may have
unforeseen consequences on the quality of local peoples diets. A better
understanding of the contribution of forest foods to local diets is needed to
understand the true impact that the loss of forests may have for nutrition in
the face of agricultural expansion. If indeed forests substantially
contribute to dietary quality in some areas as the results here imply,
forest loss may result in unforeseen, adverse consequences on
nutrition for local people." Rowland et al. 2016
