Impact of nutrition sensitive agriculture intervention on household food security outcomes, a systematic review Pubblico

Abstract

Abstract

Objective: The aims of this systematic literature review were to understand what metrics have been used to evaluate nutrition sensitive agricultural intervention’s household food security outcomes and to understand if current NSA have contributed to household FIS.

Methodology: PubMed, Agricol, AgEcon and grey literature were searched for NSA interventions with household FIS outcomes.

Results: Nine studies met the full inclusion criteria. Four studies had a statistically significant impact on household FIS. Household Food Insecurity Access Scale was the indicator most used.

Conclusion: The low number of studies in this systematic review limited the ability to conduct a meta-analysis. However, evidence suggest that NSA interventions can have a positive impact on household food security and more recent studies used validated indicators to measure FIS.
