Program Participation Intensity and Children's Nutritional Status : Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial in Mozambique

Agricultural interventions are thought to have the potential to improve nutrition, but little rigorous evidence is available about programs that link the two. In this article, we study impacts of an integrated agricultural and nutritional biofortification project, the REU in Mozambique. We first pro...
