The rising price of nutritious foods: The case of Ethiopia
In several high and middle-income economies, the prices of nutritious foods are high, and increasing. However, less is known about these prices in low-income countries.

The paper also investigates the varying influence of different types of irrigation water management systems and associated irrigation technologies on the adoption of SLM practices in […]
Child growth faltering dynamics in food insecure districts in rural Ethiopia
Child undernutrition disproportionally affects children in low- and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, both wasting and stunting are serious public health concerns, with high human and economic costs.
