This study used WB-LSMS data from 2009 to 2020 to examine the relationship between agricultural extension advisory service (AEAS) and food security. By setting up a treated and control group and applying difference-in-difference and kernel PSM-DID analysis, the results confirmed a positive relationship between AEAS and food security. Factors such as capital, finance, and region were found to hinder households from engaging in AEAS. Policy implications for integrating AEAS and food security are outlined.
While a robust correlation has been proven between agricultural extension advisory service (AEAS) and increases in agricultural production in literature, it's undefined whether this holds true between AEAS and food security. This study stretched the theory from increased agricultural production to food security by using WB-LSMS data from 2009 to 2020. We set up a treated and a control group and then employed difference-in-difference and kernel PSM-DID to analyze the two groups, whiles applying stationarity, cointegration, and post-estimation diagnostic tests to ensure data robustness. The results denote a positive relationship between AEAS and food security while factors including capital, finance, and region, among others hinder households from engaging in AEAS. Policy implications are outlined for AEAS and food security integration.
