Farm production diversity and its association with dietary diversity in Kenya
Food Security, 2020Agriculture has the potential to improve dietary diversity through farm production diversity if farming households consume what they produce. However, the linkages between a household’s own agricultural production and dietary diversity are not well understood.

Farm production diversity and dietary quality: linkages and measurement issues [PDF]
Food Security, 2018 Recent research has analyzed whether higher levels of farm production diversity contribute to improved diets in smallholder farm households. We add to this literature by using and comparing different indicators, thus helping to better understand some of the underlying linkages. The analysis builds on data from Indonesia, Kenya, and Uganda.

RETAIL-FARM PRICE MARGINS AND CONSUMER PRODUCT DIVERSITY
2002This bulletin provides an alternative approach for computing retail-farm price margins. Current published estimates of retail-farm price margins are calculated assuming that food markets are comprised of identical firms producing, in fixed-factor proportions, a homogeneous set of final food products.

Livelihoods and production diversity on U.S. permaculture farms
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 2017ABSTRACTPermaculture is an international grassroots movement with a focus on diversified farming systems (DFS). We visited 36 self-identified permaculture farms in the continental United States and gathered multidimensional data on the distribution of labor and income across enterprises and seasons, along with sociodemographic information and farm ...

On the Link between Production Diversity and Dietary Quality in Smallholder Farm Households.
World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2017 Undernutrition, low dietary diversity, and micronutrient deficiencies remain big problems in many developing countries. A large proportion of the people affected are smallholder farmers. Against this background, it is often assumed that further diversifying small-farm production could be a good strategy to improve dietary diversity and nutrition.

International Journal of Social Economics, 2017
Purpose Emphasis on the potential roles diverse farm production systems could play in enhancing food consumption variety and nutritional well-being in rural developing countries has increased in recent times. However, there are paucities of empirical works connecting diversity in agricultural production and dietary diversity in Africa, and Nigeria in ...

GM Technology Adoption, Production Risk and On-farm Varietal Diversity
2009This 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.

Farm-Diversity Management for Sustainable Production Systems
2019Diversity at farm level spreads the risk of uncertainties of climate and market, aids efficient use of available resources and additionally increases farm output by enhancing soil health, pollination and minimising pests and diseases. Thus it has multiple benefits but needs intelligent integration of all the components of diversity at all the input and
