“…Thus, agricultural diversity was strongly associated with improving quality of complementary foods. Following the recent PNAS publications (Berti 2015;Sibhatu et al 2015) and to obtain a nutrition-relevant indicator, diversification was defined as the production of different food groups in farming systems (including home gardens). These findings show the link between agricultural diversification and feeding practices, especially dietary diversity.…”

“…It includes: (1) production diversity defined as the number of different food groups produced over the past year in analogy with the WHO classification for infant and young child dietary diversity (WHO, 2008;Berti, 2015); (minimum = 0 and maximum = 7 food groups); (2) the ownership of a home garden, which indicates the availability of vegetables at the household level.…”

Complementary feeding practices: determinants of dietary diversity and meal frequency among children aged 6–23 months in Southern Benin

et al. 2017

Poor complementary feeding practices have detrimental effects on child growth, development and survival. This cross-sectional study in rural areas of southern Benin examined some determinants of complementary feeding practices using socioeconomic and dietary data collected among 1225 primary caregivers. Determinants of complementary feeding practices in the study areas are multidimensional and include many interacting factors such as socio-economic aspects, farming practices, household demographics, cultural practices and geography. Child age, diversity of food groups produced, income allocated to feeding, commune of residence, ethnicity, caregivers' occupation, marital status and household size were identified as the main factors affecting complementary feeding practices. Food group diversification in farm-systems and overall social behavior and support as well as women's empowerment are necessary to improve children's diets. Reducing women's workload through improved working conditions appears crucial to decrease time burdens and allow more time for child care. Multisectoral interventions should be embraced to improve complementary feeding practices in Benin.

“…The authors found a positive effect, however market access seems to negate the effect of production diversity on consumption diversity. Unfortunately, the methodological approach for measuring and comparing the questioned indicators were again insufficient (Berti, 2015;Remans, DeClerck, Kennedy, & Fanzo, 2015;Sibhatu, Krishna, & Qaim, 2015b). The most recent economist approach to unravel the relationship contains surprisingly a similar shortcoming, though with different indicators (again HDDS was used) (Koppmair, Kassie, & Qaim, 2016).…”

Chiara Kofol is the Managing Editor of the series. AbstractOn-farm production diversity of smallholder farmers can improve the nutrition security of the household. The objective is to determine the significance and relevance of this relationship by considering the different degrees of separability between both the commercial and consumptive production of food. A household-level survey covering socioeconomic, agricultural and nutritional data was conducted in three regions of India

“…Les débats qui animent les auteurs travaillant à ce niveau concernent les formes désirables d'exploitations agricoles. Par exemple, au sujet de la diversité de l'alimentation des familles d'agriculteurs (comme indicateur de la qualité de l'alimentation, qui est une des dimensions de la sécurité alimentaire), certains travaux montrent une plus grande efficacité des systèmes de production plus spécialisés et orientés vers le commerce (Sibhatu et al, 2015), tandis que d'autres montrent au contraire que la diversité de la production à un niveau local (Remans et al, 2015) ou des exploitations individuelles (Berti, 2015) a de meilleurs effets sur la diversité de la consommation alimentaire.…”
