Cultivating collaboration through joint participation
Evidence from a video-based nutrition-sensitive agricultural extension program in Ethiopia.
Abstract
Micronutrient deficiency, or hidden hunger, remains a significant problem affecting more than 2 billion people globally. Consuming a diet that is diverse in agricultural products is a primary way of decreasing hidden hunger. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is recommended as a means of ensuring that investments in agriculture also translate into nutritional gains. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is a multisectoral approach that requires coordination and cooperation across what are often gendered domains of control inside and outside the home. Agriculture is usually treated as men바카라 사이트™s domain and nutrition women바카라 사이트™s, with programming generally targeting recipients based on their assumed domain of control. Using evidence from a study of a video based nutrition sensitive agriculture program in Ethiopia, this paper provides an in-depth qualitative examination of why targeting both men and women with information on nutrition-sensitive agriculture is preferred by both female and male farmers.
