Abstract

In the Congo agricultural techniques of agricultural households base agricultural productivity on the physical aptitudes of the members of these households. In rural areas, however, the hunger affects a large majority of households, especially households headed by households in an agricultural industry. Improving agricultural productivity in this situation is a crucial issue as household members no longer consume the required calories.Ordinary least squares regression has yielded results that indicate that an increase in the number of undernourished people has a negative impact on agricultural productivity.
