Rice price volatility and dietary diversity in Bangladeshi farm households: panel data evidence
The findings suggest that farm households respond to rice price volatility by diversifying their diets rather than reducing dietary quality, likely through substitution toward alternative food groups and diversified production. Policies should balance rice intensification with agricultural diversification to support both caloric adequacy and improved nutrition.
