\normalsize{
Does farm production diversity have the potential to improve dietary diversity and nutrition of smallholder farmers living in Kenya, Africa? Empirical evidence on the relationship between production diversity and dietary diversity is however still limited. The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of production diversity on household dietary diversity. The specific research questions are: a) What determines households' production diversity? b) Is there an association between production diversity and dietary diversity? and c) How does the degree of diversification influence dietary diversity? The analysis is based on household"=level data of around 1200 farmers in rural and peri"=urban Kenya. First, the Poisson regression identifies the factors influencing production diversity and determines the relationship between production diversity and dietary diversity. Then, the continuous treatment approach is used to evaluate the effect of different degrees of diversification on indicators of dietary diversity. To measure production diversity, a simple unweighted count of crop and livestock species produced in the farm is used. Dietary diversity is measured with the food variety score (FVS) and the household dietary diversity score (HDDS).







Descriptive results reveal differences among rural and peri"=urban regions in terms of production and dietary diversity. Rural regions have higher production diversity whereas peri"=urban regions have higher dietary diversity. Age, education, land, worker equivalent, access to off farm employment, market information and distance to market are found to be influencing production diversity. Regression results show a significant positive relationship between production diversity and both indicators of dietary diversity in rural and peri"=urban regions even after controlling for other covariates. Results from continuous treatment approach reveal that different levels of diversified production influence households' dietary diversity differently. For example, as production diversity increases from 1 to 10, the HDDS increases from 6.5 to 8.2 while the FVS increases from 13 to 17 for rural region. Similarly, for the peri"=urban region, the HDDS increases from 8.5 to 9.4 and the FVS increases from 16 to 20.5. These results suggest that increasing production diversity contributes to greater household dietary diversity in the peri"=urban region than in the rural region.
