Key findings
Accessible sections illustrate linking household plots, crop cultivation and child nutrition information, and using RapidEye imagery to show within-field variation. They do not establish a causal climate–malnutrition effect.
Study design & setting
Study design and methods
Population, setting or evidence base
Bourasso, Burkina Faso. Exploratory methods/conference chapter. Accessible author-text excerpt: 20 households, 29 children under 5 and 68 fields.
Methods
Two household groups by child nutritional status; anthropometry, agricultural surveys, participatory GPS mapping and two satellite scenes.
Limits to interpretation
Limitations
Full publisher chapter was inaccessible; only author-uploaded indexed text was consulted. Small selected sample and sparse imagery support exploration rather than general effect estimation.
Research relevance
Research relevance
An early example of joining agriculture and nutrition research at household-field scale.
