The present study has
investigated the impact of agricultural diversity on food security in
Benin. Agriculture plays a very important role in the Beninese economy
and contributes to more than a third of national GDP despite pockets of
food insecurity in several municipalities in Benin. Various efforts have
been put in place, such as the diversification of the sector, but the
crisis persists. Descriptive methods followed by multiple linear
regressions were used to understand this impact. The 1985 to 2014 FAO
Consumption Standards data, the population size price series for each
production and the market were obtained at ONASA by product and by
market. The size of Benin's population was obtained at the National
Institute of Statistics and Economic Analysis (INSAE). The results of
the study has showed that the average caloric intake is estimated at
3288 Kcal / head / day over the period 2005-2014 and the average intake
of Protein is estimated at 75.6 g / head / day. The population has
increased from 2003 to 2012. Prices have increased and adjusted to the
needs of the producer, but the demand for food and nutrition is not
covered by production. In other words, the supply of food energy is
greater than the needs of the population, but the nutritional demand of
the population in animal protein is not covered by the national supply
of agricultural production
