Several countries across the developing world have designed and implemented agricultural export incentives. However, little is known about the effects of these policies on various aspects of domestic food security.
Considerable literature from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) links maternal employment to child nutritional status.
Most studies of agricultural transformation document the impact of agricultural income growth on macroeconomic indicators of development.
Orange Sweet Potato (OSP) and Iron rich beans can be used in many dishes to enrich their nutritive value, add color and make them attractive to all ages.
Introducing biofortified crops as new crops on the market required people to receive the right information as to why they should produce and consume these crops. Nutrition trainings were a platform to disseminate this much needed information.
Measuring yield accurately is critical for evaluating the impact of interventions that aim to increase agricultural productivity but presents challenges in the case of coffee due to the long harvest period.
A challenge to evaluating the impact of agronomy training programs, particularly on downstream impacts such as yield, is the identification of a sample with sufficiently high take-up propensity.
The livelihoods of millions of banana-farming households have been affected by Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) in Uganda for nearly two decades.
Background: Micronutrient deficiencies affect over one quarter of the world’s population.
We examine the role of gender dimensions of intrahousehold bargaining power and decision making in the adoption and diffusion of orange sweet potato (OSP), a biofortified crop being promoted to increase dietary intakes of vitamin A in Uganda.
The Government of Uganda has implemented programs and policies to improve the agricultural sector’s recent underperformance.
Biofortification is a promising strategy to combat micronutrient malnutrition by promoting the adoption of staple food crops bred to be dense sources of specific micronutrients.
LANEA (Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in East Africa) is an IFPRI/FAO research initiative carried out in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya to investigate opportunities and challenges related to scaling up impact on nutrition through the food and ag
