Agricultural correlates of aggregate nutritional outcomes in Malawi: District-level rank analysis by Benson, Todd

“…Limited associations between aggregate agricultural production and aggregate nutritional outcomes were found, suggesting that the direct relationship between the two is relatively weak in Malawi. Moreover, the sign of many of the associations runs contrary to expectations: in some cases, strengthened agricultural livelihoods are negatively related to nutritional outcomes. …”

Effect of conflict and food price shocks on calorie intake and acute malnutrition in Nigeria: A micro-panel data analysis by Fadare, Olusegun, Akerele, Dare, Mavrotas, George, Ogunniyi, Adebayo

“…Surprisingly, there appears to be a decrease likelihood of wasting among households in conflict-prone areas despite relatively low level of calorie intake. This result may be indicative of access to certain nutrition-related non-food factors capable of reinforcing the available calorie intake in the areas. …”
