Topic 1: Household Crop production Poor, rural households rely on production of food crops for most of their food needs, and also to earn a little income to buy more food and other essentials. You are to investigate the total production of crops among these households, looking at the following questions: What are the characteristics of the households in this study? What indicators are there of poverty among households? What are the characteristics of the farms these households live on? What do they produce? How much land do they have? Are households producing enough crops to meet their daily food needs? Does having more land mean households produce more food? What is the effect of household composition on crop production? Does having more children mean less is produced? Or more elderly? Or working age population? What are the implications of your findings for priorities in programs to improve the livelihoods of poor, rural households in Africa
