Household cereal crop harvest and children’s nutritional status in rural Burkina Faso

Reduction of child undernutrition is one of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Achievement of this goal may be made more difficult in some settings by climate change through adverse impact on agricultural productivity.

Description
Summary:Reduction of child undernutrition is one of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

However, there is only limited quantitative evidence on the link between household crop harvests and child nutrition. We examined this link in a largely subsistence farming population in rural Burkina Faso.
