Production Diversity, Men’s Help with Household Tasks, & Lower Women’s Depression Mediate Impact of an Agriculture Intervention on Child’s Dietary Diversity in Tanzania (FS01-06-19)

Abstract

Production diversity and women’s empowerment are two ways by which nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions are thought to improve children’s diet, but, few empirical studies have tested these pathways. We therefore investigated the impact of the Singida Nutrition and Agroecology Project (SNAP-Tz; NCT02761876) on child’s dietary diversity, as well as the mediating role of production diversity and women’s empowerment on that relationship.
