      abstract = {This study examines the effect of seasonality by utilizing  original individual, household level energy intake panel  dataset of three rounds of surveys from rural lowland  farmers in the Central Highlands in Madagascar. Household’s  food consumption revealed by 24-hour recall was converted  to energy intake per person using adult male equivalent  measure. We employed a fixed effects model and found that  seasonally significantly affects negatively on energy  intake and energy sufficiency rate during lean season. In  lean season, farmers tend to substitute roots and tubers  for rice, and they are more likely to depend on purchased  food.},
