Differential Effect of Agriculture Diversification on Child Nutritional Outcomes in Uganda
Journal Title: Journal of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Animal Sciences - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This study examines the effect of differential effects of agricultural diversification on child nutritional outcomes in Uganda using the Heckman endogenous panel probit with sample selection. The results showed that agriculture diversification is key to better child nutrition outcomes. Also, women’s control of farm income, high education for household heads, urban residence and access to product markets positively affect child nutritional outcomes, while male children are more prone to poor child nutritional outcomes. Thus, the government needs to design measures aimed at empowering women to own and control agricultural production assets and at the same time promote education to ensure that households have nutrient-rich foods available.
