Nigerian experiences

There were no Nigeria case studies cited in the systematic review. There was one study on the impact of off-farm income on food security and nutrition in Nigeria (Babatunde and Qaim, 2010). Using a survey of 220 farm households in Kwara State, NC region, it was found that off-farm income did have a positive effect on food security and nutrition: the prevalence of child under nutrition is lower and food production is higher in households with off-farm income.

The Improving Agriculture and Rural Markets in Nigeria (IAMiNN) Programme might offer potential for building nutrition into the value chain, through active support to enhanced participation of women, a strengthening of the value chain infrastructure that is specific to nutrient-rich foods which require cold chains, a strengthening of the demand for nutrient-rich foods in the marketplace through labelling and marketing for commercial advantage, reducing the transactions costs of food fortification and the promotion of the uptake of bio fortified staples by farmers and consumers.
