Current zinc intakes were derived from a nationally representative household food consumption survey (30-day recall) and attributed to household members based on adult equivalent weights. Using a dose–response function, projected increased zinc intakes from biofortified rice and wheat were translated into potential health improvements for pessimistic and optimistic scenarios. After estimating the costs of developing and disseminating the new varieties, the cost-effectiveness of zinc biofortification was calculated for both scenarios and compared with alternative micronutrient interventions and international reference standards.India.Representative household survey (n = 119 554).The calculated annual burden of ZnD in India is 2.8 million DALYs lost. Zinc biofortification of rice and wheat may reduce this burden by 20–51% and save 0.6–1.4 million DALYs each year, depending on the scenario. The cost for saving one DALY amounts to 0.73–7.31, which is very cost-effective by standards of the World Bank and the World Health Organization, and is lower than that of most other micronutrient interventions.Not only may zinc biofortification save lives and prevent morbidity among millions of people, it may also help accommodate the need to economise and to allocate resources more efficiently. Further research is needed to corroborate these findings."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1017/s1368980007223857"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150270"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7016"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.relation.issn","1368-9800"],["dc.title","Plant breeding to control zinc deficiency in India: how cost-effective is biofortification?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Based on stated preference data, mean willingness to pay is estimated at 60–70% above market prices for traditional cassava. This is higher than the results from similar studies in developed countries, which is plausible given that micronutrient malnutrition is more severe in developing countries.

While implications of such land-use change for the environment and for local farm households were examined in previous research, possible effects on the livelihoods of non- farm households are not yet well understood. This study analyzes the role of different types of agricultural and non-agricultural employment income for non-farm households in rural Jambi, one of the hotspot regions of Indonesia’s recent oil palm boom. Data from a recent survey show that employment in rubber and oil palm are important livelihood components for non- farm households. Employment in oil palm is more lucrative than employment in rubber, so involvement in the oil palm sector as a laborer is positively associated with total household income. Regression models show that whether or not a household works in oil palm is largely determined by factors related to migration background, ethnicity, and the size of the village area grown with this crop. These results suggest that further expansion of the oil palm area will likely benefit non-farm households through gains in employment income. As non-farm households belong to the poorest segments of the rural population, these benefits should not be ignored when designing policies towards sustainable land use."],["dc.format.extent","III, 29"],["dc.identifier.ppn","1010746332"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108102"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","SFB 990, University of Göttingen; GOEDOC, Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen"],["dc.publisher.place","Göttingen"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation.crisseries","EFForTS Discussion Paper Series"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie und Anthropologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","Oil palm; rubber; non-farm households; labor markets; sharecropping; income"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_discussionpaperseries"],["dc.title","Land-use change and livelihoods of non-farm households"],["dc.title.subtitle","The role of income from employment in oil palm and rubber in rural Indonesia"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
