"This book is largely motivated by and based on three decades of food and nutrition policy research at the International Food Policy Research Institute. In the mid-nineties, the data based statistical methods were combined with selected case studies from IFPRI research on food and nutrition security issues to form a training manual ... This book [is] a substantially revised version of the manual ..."--Preface.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 381-396) and index.
Section I: Food security policy analysis -- 1. Introduction to food security : concepts and measurement -- 2. Implications of technological change, post-harvest technology and technology adoption for improved food security : application of t-statistic -- 3. Effects of commercialization of agriculture (shift from traditional crop to cash crop) on food consumption and nutrition : application of chi-square statistic -- 4. Effects of technology adoption and gender of household head : the issue, its importance in food security : application of Cramer's V and phi coefficient -- 5. Changes in food consumption patterns : the issue and its importance to food security : application of one-way ANOVA -- 6. Impact of market access on food security : application of factor analysis -- Section II: Nutrition policy analysis -- 7. Impact of maternal education and care on preschoolers' nutrition : application of two-way ANOVA -- 8. Indicators and causal factors of nutrition : application of correlation analysis -- 9. Effects of individual, household and community indicators on child's nutritional status : application of simple linear regression -- 10. Maternal education and community characteristics as indicators of nutritional status of children : application of multivariate regression -- Section III: Special topics on poverty, nutrition, and food policy analysis -- 11. Predicting child nutritional status using related socioeconomic variables : application of discriminant function analysis -- 12. Measurement and determinants of poverty : application of logistic regression models -- 13. Classifying households on food security and poverty dimensions : application of K-mean cluster analysis -- 14. Household care as a determinant of nutritional status : application of instrumental variable estimation -- 15. Achieving an ideal diet : modeling with linear programming -- 16. Food and nutrition program evaluation.
