Global programs / Nutrition : economic analysis of agricultural policies
The impact of agricultural development projects and policies upon the nutritional well-being of rural families has been a topic of increasing concern. This two-part report presents the results of research to develop a workable methodology for tracing the food consumption effects of rural development interventions. The approach incorporates farmers' food consumption considerations into the overall farm-level decisionmaking process. Part I presents country studies for Senegal and Cameroon. The former study focuses on trade-offs between peanut and millet production and on the role of imported rice in rural areas. The Cameroon study examines how access to marketing opportunities can affect farmers' food consumption patterns. Alternative field research techniques for rapid gathering of data to measure food intake, market factors, and crop labor requirements were tested in the two studies. Failure to obtain reliable recall data on crop-labor requirements was a major disappointment. Part II develops a general framework for integrating food consumption decisions into a standard farm planning model. The model, as applied to actual situations, gives a clear idea of the agronomic and economic
