The relationship between farm production diversity at the plot level and diversity of household consumption and caloric intake are econometrically estimated. Our results confirm previous findings that an increase in production diversity increases consumption diversity and thereby, presumably, household nutritional levels. In addition, we find a positive relationship between diversity of farm production and caloric intake. Three waves of the World Bank LSMS-ISA database for Uganda were used to create a panel data set. Fixed effects models were estimated. Preliminary results indicate that households that produce a greater diversity of crops, have higher food expenditures, have larger farms, and consume more from their own production have higher nutrition diversity and caloric intake. Policy implications are that strategies aimed at increasing household production diversity may have positive effects on household nutritional levels and caloric intake.

用计量经济学方法估计了小区水平上农业生产多样性与家庭消费和热量摄入多样性之间的关系。我们的结果证实了之前的发现，即生产多样性的增加会增加消费多样性，从而可能会增加家庭营养水平。此外，我们发现农业生产的多样性与热量摄入呈正相关。三次浪潮的世界银行的lsm - isa数据库用于创建一个面板数据集，并估计固定效应模型。初步结果表明，生产更多样化的作物、更高的粮食支出、拥有更大的农场并从自己的生产中消费更多的家庭，其营养多样性和热量摄入也更高。政策影响是，旨在增加家庭生产多样性的战略可能对家庭营养水平和热量摄入产生积极影响。
