Multiple-Season Farming and Resilience: Linking Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition

The livelihoods of rural households in sub-Saharan Africa have been threatened by climate change and underperformance of the agricultural sector. To address this challenge, multiple-season farming has been suggested as a potential alternative to rain-fed cultivation in order to intensify agricultural production and improve farmers’ well-being. This study employs a fixed effects- instrumental variable (FE-IV) model to estimate the impact of multiple-season farming on household food security and child nutrition.
