埃塞俄比亚大部分地区仍然存在粮食不安全问题。最近的文献表明，农场和非农多样化，以及进入农业市场的机会，可能有助于提高家庭膳食多样性得分（HDDS），作为粮食和营养安全的一个指标。虽然经常使用hdd，但很少在可比较的（非）汇总水平上应用生产方面的多样性评分。本研究利用收集的400名埃塞俄比亚小农的社会经济数据，调查了前往市场的旅行时间、非农收入和农场生产多样性与家庭粮食和营养安全之间的关系。研究结果表明，生产多样性和更高的非农业收入与更多样化的饮食有关。由于到市场的旅行时间较长，食品消费的多样性较小。生产多样化和增加市场参与似乎并不相互排斥，因此在制定政策干预措施时应平等考虑。
Food insecurity persists in large parts of Ethiopia. Recent literature suggests that both on-farm and off-farm diversification, as well as access to agricultural markets, may help improve household dietary diversity scores (HDDS) as an indicator for food and nutrition security. While the HDDS is frequently used, a diversity score for the production side has rarely been applied at a comparable level of (dis-)aggregation. Employing socio-economic data collected covering 400 Ethiopian smallholder farmers, this study investigates how the travel time to markets, non-farm income, and on-farm production diversity associate with household food and nutrition security. Findings suggest that production diversity and higher non-farm income are linked to more diverse diets. With longer travel time to markets, food consumption is less varied. Production diversity and increased market participation do not appear to be mutually exclusive, and thus, should be considered equally when developing policy interventions.
