Agricultural Commercialisation and Nutrition in Smallholder Farm Households (2019, methodology): “Together with Africa Harvest, a non-governmental organization active in the region, we constructed a list of all existing groups in Kisii and Nyamira, yet deliberately excluding a few that had received specific development support during the last two years.”
Pesticidal plants in Africa: A global vision of new biological control products from local uses (2017, background): “Perhaps nowhere on earth is this growing pressure on crops more acute than in Africa where 80% of food is produced by small holders farming land areas of less than 2 ha, often on marginal degraded lands with little mechanisation or inputs (Stevenson and Belmain, 2016; Sibhatu et al. 2015).”
Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies in Tanzania (2020, result): “The likelihood of livestock diversity tended to further be influenced by the availability of off-farm income, as was found in crop-livestock systems in Ghana (Asante et al., 2017).”
The global burden of chronic and hidden hunger: Trends and determinants (2018, result): “These results are consistent with micro-level evidence on the importance of dietary diversity and the consumption of fruits and vegetables for wholesome nutrition (Choudhury and Headey, 2017; Schreinemachers et al., 2018; Sibhatu et al., 2015).”
Agricultural intensification, dietary diversity, and markets in the global food security narrative (2019, background): “This generally positive relationship has led some to propose that development dollars would be better spent improving market access for rural households than promoting diverse agricultural productions systems (Sibhatu et al., 2015; Koppmair et al., 2017).”
Can Mobile Phones Improve Gender Equality and Nutrition? Panel Data Evidence from Farm Households in Uganda (2017, background): “Hence, the DDS with only 9 food groups included is generally considered a better indicator of dietary quality (Sibhatu et al., 2015).”
Farm production diversity and dietary quality: linkages and measurement issues (2018, methodology): “Results from Sibhatu et al. (2015), Snapp and Fisher (2015), Hirvonen and Hoddinott (2017), and Koppmair et al. (2017) suggest that access to markets may sometimes be more important for nutrition than increasing farm production diversity.”
Children’s Diets, Nutrition Knowledge, and Access to Markets (2017, background): “Sibhatu, Krishna, and Qaim (2015) report on a study conducted in four countries that shows that households with higher levels of diversity in food production exhibit higher levels of diversity in food consumption.”
Organic Agriculture, Food Security, and the Environment (2018, background): “One reason is greater production diversity on organic farms, which is known to affect household dietary diversity through the subsistence pathway (Sibhatu et al. 2015).”
Measuring (2019, unknown): “A pooled analysis of data from Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, and Indonesia for example, showed that market access had stronger effects on dietary diversity than did production diversity (Sibhatu et al. 2015).”
