The study explores how risk and time preferences influence dietary diversity among rural rice farmers in Madagascar. It found that risk-averse individuals and those with a preference for immediate gratification were less likely to adopt diverse diets. Households headed by women with off-farm income and frequent market visits showed higher dietary diversity. Insights suggest targeted interventions like nutritional education and financial support to improve diet quality.
