Why choose this project topic?
Household Substitution Between Staple Foods During Relative Price Changes gives the proposal a specific agricultural decision to investigate. By examining changes in staple purchases accompanying changing relative food prices, the study can connect an accessible evidence base with an explicit comparison and a useful account of uncertainty.
Which staples replace one another in household purchase diaries when their relative prices change?
Choose a small staple basket and consistent quantity units.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define a feasible study scope for changes in staple purchases accompanying changing relative food prices.
- 02Combine voluntary purchase diaries with standardised market prices for matching food forms and quantities.
- 03Compare quantities and expenditure shares while distinguishing substitution from reduced total purchases.
A suggested research approach
Combine voluntary purchase diaries with standardised market prices for matching food forms and quantities. Compare quantities and expenditure shares while distinguishing substitution from reduced total purchases. Agree access, sampling and any required ethical or laboratory approval with your supervisor before collection. Keep original observations separate from assumptions and record missing or unusable evidence.
What you will need
- Household consent
- Purchase diaries
- Price monitoring sheets
Keep your project scope clear
Short diaries cannot estimate long-run demand responses or establish nutritional adequacy.
