The study uses the linear AIDS technique to analyse how consumers of cassava food products in the Lagos metropolitan area react to economic and demographic factors and how consumer reactions can be captured to bring about effective policy formulation for food security and poverty alleviation through value added agricultural production.

Boulanger and Messerlin argue that more international trade is essential for an increase in the global resilience of agriculture and that better targeting of public and private policies is critical.
