Effect of improving food security on parenting practices and caregiver–adolescent relationships: qualitative findings of an income-generating agricultural intervention in rural Kenya
These findings demonstrate how an income-generating agricultural intervention may improve food security and positively affect parenting practices, intra-household dynamics and adolescent psychosocial well-being and behaviour. Further research is needed to explore how to harness the social benefits of agricultural interventions to best address the critical intersections among food insecurity, parenting practices and adolescent mental health.
