      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Foreword:  The present study  responds to a growing demand for information on the extent  to which individual members of households will be  positively affected by the increases in food availability  that can be brought about as a result of improved  government policies and/or specific agricultural  development programs and projects.  Implicit in the design  of most agricultural development projects, for example, is  the assumption that increases in food production will  benefit all farm household members equally.  Such cannot be  a foregone conclusion, however.  Especially since it is  also widely believed, for example, that differences in the  distribution of food among household members accounts for  the prevalence of malnutrition among women and children.   This report reviews the literature on the subject of how  food is distributed within households in developing  countries.  It begins with a brief review of some examples  of the types of information which are available, on  intra-family food distribution.  This is followed by a  general discussion of how food flows through a household  and what factors influence its distribution at various  stages.  The report then reviews twelve dietary studies in  detail and identifies several types of distribution  patterns implied by these studies.  The report concludes  with a discussion of the policy and planning implications  of intra-family food distribution and identifies needs for  further research.},
