Specifically, we study how households engage in horticulture, both for income generation via commercial production and for informal markets or self-consumption in home gardens. We also investigate how interventions in development and humanitarian contexts can support nutrition and food security, also for children and through school gardens. Finally, we investigate the drivers of food choices and decision making in extreme environments and in future food systems. We do so using advanced survey and experimental methods as well as impact evaluations of various policy interventions. Our close collaboration with natural scientists at IGZ and related partners around the world is a distinguishing characteristic of our work.
