  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}o investigate the seasonal variations of women's dietary diversity ({WDD}) (items consumed and food supply) and its linkages with agriculture, market and wild resources. {D}esign: {A} cohort of 300 women was followed-up over a year to investigate {WDD} and food sources (production, purchase or foraging). {M}onthly qualitative 24 h recalls allowed computing {WDD} {S}cores from a standard 10-food groups ({FG}) classification ({WDDS}-10). {A}ssociations between farm/women's characteristics and {WDDS}-10 were investigated using multivariate mixed models including interaction terms factor*months. {S}etting: {T}uy province, {B}urkina {F}aso. {P}articipants: 300 women of reproductive age. {R}esults: {B}oth dietary diversity and food sources were seasonal. {T}he mean {WDDS}-10 was relatively stable from {A}ugust to {J}anuary (ranging from 3 center dot 1 to 3 center dot 5 {FG}) when farm production predominated. {T}he {WDDS}-10 gradually increased from {F}ebruary, concomitantly with an increase in food purchases (onions, tomatoes, mangoes) and reached its highest levels (>4 {FG}) from {M}arch to {J}une, when food purchases were still relatively high and when more women consumed foraged fruits (shea plums and wild grapes). {W}omen living on farms owning > 3 plough oxen and different animal species had significantly higher {WDDS}-10 than others (+0 center dot 28 and +0 center dot 35 {FG}, respectively). {W}omen who practiced off-farm activities also had higher {WDDS}-10 than those who did not (+0 center dot 21 {FG}, {P} < 0 center dot 05). {O}ther factors, for example, the number of foraged edible species, provided advantages in terms of dietary diversity only during certain seasons ({O}ctober - {J}anuary, {P} for interaction < 0 center dot 01). {C}onclusions: {D}iversifying women's diets throughout the year requires complementary interventions aimed at diversifying production, promoting foraging and increasing income-generating activities to enable food purchasing.},
