Models of change in desired family size (Coombs Scale) from baseline to follow-up predicted by change in time to collect fodder (hours to travel, gather, and return home). Effect estimates with t-statistics in parentheses from regression models with individual level fixed effects. Women aged 15–33 in Chitwan, Nepal at baseline.
