Publication évaluée par des pairsmars, 2021Kenya, Madagascar, MozambiqueThis study set out to estimate the effects of large-scale agricultural investments (LSAIs) on household food security in one community each in Kenya, Madagascar and Mozambique. An endogenous switching regression model was adopted to control for a possible selection bias due to unobserved factors. It was found that households with members employed by large-scale agricultural investment companies were more likely larger households headed by younger migrant males holding smaller plots and fewer livestock than non-engaged households.

Land distribution is highly skewed in Africa, where women’s ownership of land is a small percentage of that owned by men.
