Excerpts: Major conclusions of the research were the following. (1) Agriculture and food policies are tightly linked to the broader economy; economic policies interact with those related to food and agriculture. (2) Assessing the consumption effects of policies requires analysis of consumption policies, disaggregated by income class, and possibly also by sector economic activity. Analysis should also disaggregate food groups into individual foods. (3) The implementation of a policy has as great an effect on the policy outcome as the underlying design. (4) The time of household members is as important as income and prices in determining food consumption patterns. (5) Producer oriented policies depend on the availability of needed complementary resources for their effectiveness. (6) Consumer-oriented interventions have potential for making long-term sustainable improvements in the stability of food prices and agricultural incomes. (8) The effect of household income in assuring food consumption adequacy is affected by the form, source, earner, and locus of control of the income. (9) Household food consumption adequacy does not guarantee individual nutritional adequacy, and food intake does not guarantee nutritional status.
