Specifically, the paper examines the effects of adopting yield-increasing technologies, such as organic fertilizers and improved seeds, as well as risk-reducing technologies, including intercropping, on multidimensional poverty using panel data and an instrumental variable econometric approach. We find that the adoption of climate-smart technologies reduces the risk of a household being deprived in multiple non-monetary welfare dimensions. The largest impact on multidimensional poverty is achieved when these technologies are adopted in combination. Furthermore, adopting the full package of technologies has a more significant impact than adopting either a single technology or a combination of the two. The results also indicate that improved agricultural productivity and increased income from agricultural sales are key mechanisms through which CSA technologies reduce poverty. These findings underscore the importance of promoting bundled CSA adoption strategies to maximize poverty reduction and resilience among smallholder farmers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102904"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144597565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings indicate that the NIP significantly increases the likelihood of students attending high school and college and extends their years of education. These results are robust across various sensitivity tests. The NIP improves educational attainment by enhancing students’ health, cognitive abilities, non-cognitive skills, and parental educational expectations. Furthermore, the impact is more pronounced among students with lower parental education levels and those in western regions. A cost-benefit analysis shows that the economic returns of the NIP surpass its costs, highlighting its substantial economic efficiency.

This paper investigates the association between household aquaculture engagement, dietary diversity and children’s anthropometric outcomes, specifically height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) and stunting prevalence, utilizing longitudinal data from rural Bangladesh. Our findings demonstrate that households engaged in aquaculture exhibit substantially enhanced food security indicators, including significantly greater consumption of home-produced foods and fish, and higher dietary diversity scores compared to non-aquaculture households. Notably, we identify a significant interaction effect whereby female children in households characterized by both aquaculture engagement and higher levels of women’s empowerment demonstrate significantly higher HAZ scores and reduced stunting risk. These empirical results suggest that the synergistic combination of household aquaculture systems and women’s empowerment represents a critical pathway for enhancing household food security and mitigating child malnutrition—with particularly pronounced benefits for female children—in rural Bangladesh contexts. The findings have substantial implications for integrated intervention strategies targeting both aquaculture development and women’s empowerment in similar low- and middle-income country settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102944"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144891869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis focused on the effect of an NS grade D label on purchase intention, comparing generic cheeses to those with PDO label. Furthermore, we explored whether perceived healthiness mediates the relationship between an NS grade D label and purchase intention for these products. The results revealed that although an NS grade D label can reduce perceived healthiness, particularly in countries with low familiarity with GIs, its total effect on purchase intention is limited. In the Netherlands, PDO label mitigates the negative effect of NS grade D on perceived healthiness, demonstrating its ability to offset unfavourable nutritional signals. We identified a dual effect of an NS grade D label: a negative effect on purchase intention due to its impact on perceived healthiness and a direct positive effect likely to result from consumers appreciating the transparency it provides. This suggests that consumers can appreciate the information value of NS, even if the label conveys unfavourable nutritional information. These insights are valuable to policymakers and industry stakeholders when managing the implementation of packaging labels in various European markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102942"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144896750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the control group, households report the consumption. In deliberation, they additionally deliberate among their family members to think of a vision, a mission and a strategy for the consumption. In the FD treatment, participants additionally consider the perspectives of past, current and future generations before deliberating on the same issues. Results indicate that FD affects people to have a sustained increase (decrease) in organic (nonorganic) vegetable consumption as compared to any other treatment, and the effect under FD is approximately twice as much as that under deliberation in magnitude and in each round.

In this paper, we use three rounds of nationally representative consumption data to examine the impact of high temperatures on food consumption in India. We find that the overall effects of temperature on macronutrient intake, food and dietary diversity are small and economically insignificant. The consumption of non-perishable food items such as cereals remains unaffected during hot periods. However, we find significant negative effects on nutrition obtained from perishable food items. For example, a 1 °C increase in mean temperature over a 30-day period leads to a decline of about 2% in protein consumption from meat, fish, and eggs in rural areas. The adverse effects on perishable food consumption are more pronounced among poorer households and those lacking access to refrigeration, in both rural and urban areas. Given the disproportionate burden on low-income households, our findings call for targeted policy responses to safeguard food and nutrition security in the face of climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102919"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144724345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
