文摘

This is a study of market access in a rural area in northwestern Ethiopia. Relationship between household well-being, nutrition, and market access is analyzed. Remote households consume less, are more food insecure, and have less diverse diets. No statistical relationship between market access and maternal and child nutrition outcomes. Agricultural production and terms of trade differences account for differences in wellbeing.
