abstract: 'Despite the significant economic development in Ghana, northern Ghana
has made little progress. Nationally, households engaged in the non-farm
work are less likely to be categorized as poor, relative to those
engaged in farming only. Given the well-established positive nexus
between non-farm work and food security, this study extends the
literature by analyzing the nexus between different types of non-farm
work (own business, wage employment, and their combination) and
household food nutrient availability in northern Ghana. Results from an
application of a linear regression with endogenous treatment effects
model to a sample of 3488 farming households and 5770 individuals
indicate that, non-farm work positively affects food nutrient
availability; and that farming households that own non-farm business are
superior in terms of their nutrient availability and the extent of food
security. Furthermore, households participating in the labor market in
search of supplemental income do not appear to have better food security
status relative to those engaged in farming only. Finally, females
participating in non-farm work provide the largest contribution to
household food nutrient availability. The study recommends the
implementation of policies and building of infrastructure that foster
the creation of non-farm income generating opportunities in northern
Ghana, coupled with a framework that enables women to take advantage of
these opportunities. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
