Food and nutritional security in self-sufficient, market-oriented households

Technical Note - Food and nutritional security in self-sufficient, market-oriented households | Pro-ARIDES

Self-sufficient farming and agro-pastoral households have access to the following foods:

  • cereals, roots and white tubers ;
  • nuts and seeds ;
  • pulses ;
  • dairy products ;
  • meat ;
  • fish ;
  • eggs ;
  • dark green leafy vegetables ;
  • fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A ;
  • other vegetables and fruit.

Whether self-produced by households or bought on the market, some of these foods are nevertheless not systematically consumed by households, resulting in a sub-optimal dietary diversity.
