There is a high prevalence of chronic and hidden hunger in SSA.The associations between hunger and farm-household characteristics are not yet well understood.Using RHOMIS, we study the associations between dietary gaps and farm-household characteristics.Farm types were defined based on production diversity.We analysed data from almost 8000 households from 8 countries in SSA.• Several farm-household characteristics were associated with dietary gaps.• Associations differed by AEZ and period.• Any given characteristic is predicted to change diet diversity by one or two categories at most.• Diverse cultivation households had lower instances of severe food insecurity.• Livestock keeping households had lower prevalence of dietary gaps in semi-arid zones.
