        <dc:description>Agriculture is fundamental to achieving nutrition goals; it provides the food, energy, and nutrients essential&#13;
for human health and well-being. This paper has examined crop diversity and dietary diversity in six&#13;
villages using the ICRISAT Village Level Studies (VLS) data from the Telangana and Maharashtra states&#13;
of India. The study has used the data of cultivating households for constructing the crop diversity index&#13;
while dietary diversity data is from the special purpose nutritional surveys conducted by ICRISAT in the&#13;
six villages. The study has revealed that the cropping pattern is not uniform across the six study villages&#13;
with dominance of mono cropping in Telangana villages and of mixed cropping in Maharashtra villages.&#13;
The analysis has indicated a positive and significant correlation between crop diversity and household&#13;
dietary diversity at the bivariate level. In multiple linear regression model, controlling for the other&#13;
covariates, crop diversity has not shown a significant association with household dietary diversity. However,&#13;
other covariates have shown strong association with dietary diversity. The regression results have revealed&#13;
that households which cultivated minimum one food crop in a single cropping year have a significant and&#13;
positive relationship with dietary diversity. From the study it can be inferred that crop diversity alone&#13;
does not affect the household dietary diversity in the semi-arid tropics. Enhancing the evidence base and&#13;
future research, especially in the fragile environment of semi-arid tropics, is highly recommended.</dc:description>
