Agricultural Production, Dietary Diversity, and Climate Variability

Nonseparable household models outline the links between agricultural production and household consumption, yet empirical extensions to investigate the effect of production on dietary diversity and diet composition are limited. Although a significan...

Increases in agricultural revenue do change diet composition. Estimates of the effect of agricultural income on share of calories by food groups indicate relatively large changes in diet composition. On average, a 10 percent increase in agricultural revenue makes households 7.2 percent more likely to consume vegetables and 3.5 percent more likely to consume fish, and increases the share of tubers consumed by 5.2 percent. 2014-10-02T20:03:58Z 2014-10-02T20:03:58Z 2014-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/09/20173472/agricultural-production-dietary-diversity-climate-variability http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20338 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7022 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Group, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
