Assessing the effectiveness of agricultural extension advice on household food consumption and food security outcomes in Malawi

Chinsinga, Mphatso 08 August 2023 (has links) (PDF)
My study examined the influence of agricultural extension advice on household food consumption and food security outcomes in Malawi. I utilized a pooled cross-sectional dataset from the Malawi Integrated Household Survey (IHS) and Integrated Household Panel Survey (IHPS) conducted in 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019. To identify the effects, multivariate linear and logistic regression models were employed, considering various factors and incorporating fixed effects for survey wave, district, and data collection month. My findings revealed heterogeneity in the impacts of agricultural extension advice on food consumption and food security outcomes. Specifically, the results showed a positive correlation between agricultural extension advice and food consumption, but a negative association with household food security. These outcomes imply that while the adoption of agricultural extension advice improves household food consumption, it does not completely address the underlying threats to food security faced by maize producing-households in Malawi.
