I would love to hear from extension practitioners, describing a very practical way in which they are addressing nutrition in their work. I bet many are doing so without necessarily explicitly referring to nutrition. For example, by assisting farmers in better managing their poultry flock and making sure children are not exposed to the feces, nutritional outcomes can improve.
The attached report on "Mainstreaming Nutrition into Agricultural Extension: Lessons Learned from the Integrated Agriculture and Poultry Nutrition Projects in Bangladesh" (jointly prepared by FAO/Bangladesh and INGENAES) gives lots of examples of how to integrate nutrition in agricultural development and extension programs.
