Pathways through which changes in agriculture affect health and nutrition
CHANGING
11
1. Households’ ability to purchase goods that directly affect health and nutrition
2. The types of goods available to households through the introduction of new crops or through changes introduced during processing
3. Exposure to pesticides, agriculture associated diseases and work-related accidents
4. The amount and intensity of time allocated across agriculture, health and nutrition
5. Assets that affect health and nutrition status
6. Intra-household allocation rules
Summary
Agriculture matters to health and nutrition
Health and nutrition matter to agriculture
Links from agriculture to health and nutrition are often –but not always – beneficial
The challenge for all stakeholders is to find ways to
maximize these benefits while minimizing the risks
