【 摘 要 】

Agricultural interventions are thought to have the potential to improve nutrition, but little rigorous evidence is available about programs that link the two. In this article, we study impacts of an integrated agricultural and nutritional biofortification project, the REU in Mozambique. We first provide evidence on dietary impacts of the program and then examine impacts of the program by participation intensity. Using OLS and IV techniques, we find that more intense participation in both project components led to larger impacts. The results therefore have important implications for refining the design of future projects attempting to link agricultural and nutrition interventions.
