Key findings
The institutional abstract reports that high-resolution imagery can complement agricultural and nutrition surveys and provide qualitative household-field harvest assessments. No robust causal climate-health estimate can be inferred.
Study design & setting
Study design and methods
Population, setting or evidence base
Rural Burkina Faso. Exploratory multisectoral study. 20 households in the village of Bourasso.
Methods
Household agricultural/nutrition surveys, anthropometry, participatory plot mapping, RapidEye imagery and a weather station about 20 km away.
Limits to interpretation
Limitations
Published full text could not be retrieved from the publisher/repository during this review. Small sample, sparse observations and qualitative yields require larger, longer studies.
Research relevance
Research relevance
Early foundation for linking household food production and child nutrition data with environmental observation.
