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
