"Understanding the Linkages between Crop Diversity and Household Dietary Diversity in the Semi-Arid Regions of India"^^ . "Agriculture is fundamental to achieving nutrition goals; it provides the food, energy, and nutrients essential\r\nfor human health and well-being. This paper has examined crop diversity and dietary diversity in six\r\nvillages using the ICRISAT Village Level Studies (VLS) data from the Telangana and Maharashtra states\r\nof India. The study has used the data of cultivating households for constructing the crop diversity index\r\nwhile dietary diversity data is from the special purpose nutritional surveys conducted by ICRISAT in the\r\nsix villages. The study has revealed that the cropping pattern is not uniform across the six study villages\r\nwith dominance of mono cropping in Telangana villages and of mixed cropping in Maharashtra villages.\r\nThe analysis has indicated a positive and significant correlation between crop diversity and household\r\ndietary diversity at the bivariate level. In multiple linear regression model, controlling for the other\r\ncovariates, crop diversity has not shown a significant association with household dietary diversity. However,\r\nother covariates have shown strong association with dietary diversity. The regression results have revealed\r\nthat households which cultivated minimum one food crop in a single cropping year have a significant and\r\npositive relationship with dietary diversity. From the study it can be inferred that crop diversity alone\r\ndoes not affect the household dietary diversity in the semi-arid tropics. Enhancing the evidence base and\r\nfuture research, especially in the fragile environment of semi-arid tropics, is highly recommended."^^ . "2016" . . "29" . .
