Farm production, market access and dietary diversity in Malawi [PDF]
Public Health Nutrition, 2016 AbstractObjectiveThe association between farm production diversity and dietary diversity in rural smallholder households was recently analysed. Most existing studies build on household-level dietary diversity indicators calculated from 7d food consumption recalls. Herein, this association is revisited with individual-level 24 h recall data.

Production diversity and dietary diversity in smallholder farm households [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Given that hunger and malnutrition are still widespread problems in many developing countries, the question of how to make agriculture and food systems more nutrition-sensitive is of high relevance for research and policy.

Farm Production Diversity and Dietary Quality in Smallholder Farm Households [PDF]
, 2022 Investments in agricultural modernization have resulted in remarkable progress in food production over the last century. As a consequence, the global number and the proportion of undernourished people has fallen significantly. Despite this progress, providing sufficient and nutritiously diverse food for all remains a complex global challenge. The scale

Diversity in Farm Production and Household Diets: Comparing Evidence From Smallholders in Kenya and Tanzania [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020 Farm production diversity is widely promoted as a strategy for enhancing smallholders' food and nutrition security. Nonetheless, empirical evidence from the rural smallholder context is still mixed.

The influence of farm production diversity on women’s dietary quality in Ethiopia
Discover FoodMalnutrition remains a significant global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, such as Ethiopia, where the great majority of smallholder farm households rely on agriculture as a crucial source of both food and income.

Farm production diversity and dietary quality: Linkages and measurement issues [PDF]
, 2016 Recent research has analyzed whether higher levels of farm production diversity contribute to improved dietary quality in smallholder households. We add to this literature by using different indicators, thus testing the robustness of previous findings and helping to better understand the underlying linkages.

GM Technology Adoption, Production Risk and On-farm Varietal Diversity [PDF]
, 2009 This paper examines the impact of transgenic technology adoption on varietal diversity. Transgenic pest-resistant varieties are hypothesized to reduce farmers’ demand for on-farm diversity through an act of substitution, as both serve as production risk reducing instruments.
