Cluster farming is increasingly recognized as a viable means of improving smallholder economic integration and commercialization in many developing countries. However, little is known about its impact on smallholder welfare and livelihoods.
Video-based behavioral change communication to change consumption patterns: Experimental evidence from urban Ethiopia
Poor diet quality has been identified as a primary driver of malnutrition and increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries. Low fruit and vegetable consumption contributes to poor diet quality.
Consumption of animal source foods, through livestock production, improves children's growth and micronutrient status. However, research on the relationship between livestock ownership and childhood anemia has produced conflicting results.
Anaemia is a global public health problem affecting 800 million women and children globally.
Price predictors in an extended hedonic regression framework: An application to wholesale cattle markets in Ethiopia
Livestock markets influence income generation for producers, but also accessibility and affordability of highly nutritious animal-sourced foods for consumers.
Are agro-clusters pro-poor? Evidence from Ethiopia
Governments and development agencies increasingly promote agro-clusters as a pathway to improving smallholder incomes and ensuring inclusive rural development through mitigating production and market risks.
Child feeding practices in rural Ethiopia show increasing consumption of unhealthy foods
The quality of complementary feeding can have both short- and long-term health impacts by delaying or promoting child growth and establishing taste preferences and feeding behaviours.
Evidence on the potential for agricultural intensification to improve nutrition has grown considerably.
Integrating nutrition interventions into antenatal care (ANC) requires adapting global recommendations to fit existing health systems and local contexts, but the evidence is limited on the process of tailoring nutrition interventions for health pr
Seasonal variation in maternal dietary diversity is reduced by small-scale irrigation practices: A longitudinal study
Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence farming but also for rural an
Antenatal care (ANC) is the largest health platform globally for delivering maternal nutrition interventions (MNIs) to pregnant women. Yet, large missed opportunities remain in nutrition service delivery.
Adoption of multiple sustainable land management practices among irrigator rural farm households of Ethiopia
Using a household and plot-level survey conducted in Ethiopia, this study analyzes the difference in farmers’ adoption of sustainable land management (SLM) practices between their rainfed and irrigated plots.
Increased deployment of agricultural extension agents (EAs) in rural areas is recommended to spur agricultural productivity and mitigate spatial imbalances in welfare.
This article analyzes how urban proximity introduces spatial heterogeneity in farm productivity within the high-value dairy sector in Ethiopia.
