Abstract It is widely expected that agriculture would contribute to farmers’ food security and nutrition in developing countries. However, studies directly explore the link between agricultural productivity micronutrients intake by farmers are scarce.

To achieve this, used three-years panel data of rice collected Vakinankaratra region...
Health worker shortage in rural areas is one of the biggest problems health sector Ghana and many developing countries. This may be due to fewer incentives support systems available attract retain workers at level. study explored willingness community officers (CHOs) accept hold job postings Ghana.

Rural communities are more likely to encounter constraints in achieving food security and adequate nutritional supply. This study explores security, supply, nutrient adequacy, macronutrient balance, recipes, sources based on bi-monthly household surveys rural villages Northern Southern Burkina Faso from 2019 2020. Food across time its quantity dimensions were measured using the consumption score (FCS). Ordered logit regression showed that FCS was significantly influenced by season, region,...

Rising micronutrient deficiencies threaten the well-being of preschool-aged children, as is case for disadvantaged farmers in Madagascar. However, effective interventions to improve their nutritional status are still unknown. This study investigates disjointed link between agriculture – food/nutrition security and - through a dual approach. Using panel dataset, our result supports production diversity dietary diversity, improvement children's wasting. Importantly, finding highlights an...

Malnutrition is a major concern in Madagascar. Eating wide variety of nutritious food necessary because Malagasy diets heavily rely on rice consumption. This study explored the barriers to dietary change towards diversification from perspective consumer behaviour. We analysed impact risk and time preferences diversity using economic experiments conducted with 539 rural lowland farmers Central Highlands The results showed that risk-averse or impatient individuals were more likely have lower...
This study examines the effect of seasonality by utilizing original individual, household level energy intake panel dataset three rounds surveys from rural lowland farmers in Central Highlands Madagascar. Household’s food consumption revealed 24-hour recall was converted to per person using adult male equivalent measure. We employed a fixed effects model and found that seasonally significantly affects negatively on sufficiency rate during lean season. In season, tend substitute roots tubers...
