In low- and middle-income countries, poor cooperation between members of smallholder agricultural households may lead to inefficient allocation of productive resources. This study estimates the causal mediating effects of cooperation between spouses...

We investigate the effect of a modest food safety premium on semisubsistence farmers' investment in a food safety technology. We demonstrate theoretically that in the face of production uncertainty, a market incentive below the marginal production co...

Problems caused by eating unsafe food are a major health issue in many countries. Contamination by bacteria or toxins can cause these health risks, particularly for young children whose bodies are still developing. It can be difficult to know which f...

The report highlights several key recommendations, including a focus on information across borders, digital opportunities for trading, learning from the experiences of the RECs and of market integration in other parts of the world, including Europe....

In this interactive we develop a typology to help design and improve spatial targeting of food and nutrition security (FNS) interventions. Based on the efficiency estimation within a four-indicator diagram which represent the core segments of a food...

Local value-addition in developing countries is often aimed at for upgrading of agricultural value chains, since it is assumed that doing so will make farmers better off. However, transmission of the added value through the value chain and constraint...

Food insecurity remains a serious challenge for many households in Africa and the situation is even more prevalent among young people. However, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on youth food security status in Africa. We assessed the level and...

This study contributes to the growing literature on dietary quality and accessibility in the Global South. The nutrition implications of changing dietary patterns between 2008 and 2019 in one of Africa's largest and fastest-growing economies, Tanzani...

The agriculture sector employs more than one-third of the population and accounts for approximately 23 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), comprising mainly smallholder farmers who tend to be highly dependent on rainfed agriculture. Given it...
