摘要：The objective of this policy synthesis is to identify the pathways through which agricultural development can affect child malnutrition and to analyze the strength of these relationships. Specifically, this synthesis explores the impact of the following variables on child malnutrition: • Income • Maternal education • Community infrastructure • Staple food prices • Changes in female labor participation in agriculture Regression analysis is used to examine the effects of these variables on weight-for-height and heightfor- age Z scores in the two recent studies of child health and nutrition in Mali.
