  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}o characterize current feeding practices and to evaluate the adequacy of energy and nutrient intakes of young children in subsistence farming rural households in {N}orth {W}ollo, {E}thiopia. {D}esign: {A} cross-sectional study examining sociodemographic status, anthropometry, breast-feeding and complementary feeding practices using two in-home nonconsecutive 24 h recalls. {S}ettings: {T}wo rural villages in the highlands and lowlands of {G}obalafto district, {N}orth {W}ollo. {S}ubjects: {S}eventy-six young children aged 12-23 months, thirty-nine from the lowlands and thirty-seven from the highlands. {R}esults: {A}bout 33% of the children, similar to 46% in the highlands and 24% in the lowlands ({P} = 0.05), were stunted. {C}omplementary diets were low in animal products, fruits and vegetables. {C}ereals and legumes were the major sources of energy, protein, {C}a, {F}e, {Z}n and vitamin {A}. {L}egumes with potentially toxic components (grass pea, broad beans) and low nutrient-dense beverages such as tea were frequently consumed. {I}ntakes of energy, {C}a, {Z}n, vitamin {A} and vitamin {C} from complementary foods were below {WHO} recommendations assuming average breast-milk intakes. {I}n contrast, {F}e and protein intakes and densities met {WHO} recommendations. {A}lthough vitamin {C} intakes and densities were higher ({P} < 0.05) for the lowlands, they remained far below {WHO} recommendations. {C}onclusions: {I}nterventions promoting the {WHO} guiding principles for complementary feeding practices and behaviours that take the agro-ecological contexts into account are needed here. {F}urthermore, specific recommendations should be formulated to discourage the consumption of grass pea, broad beans and low nutrient-dense beverages such as tea.},
