I am working on a project linking agriculture with nutrition and health. I ma trying to measure the effect of HH decision i.e. decision made by either male or female or both in a home in agricultural production, nutrition intake and health condition of household members. Thus I want to know the better and effective qualitative and quantitative indicators to measure such effects of decision making in households. If female, male or both is decision maker what kind of Agri produce are produced, how it effects on nutrition intake and health (especially of mother and child) of family members.

Though I have not worked on the aspect in focussed way. However many of the work is dealing the similar issues. You may have a look of papers on my RG. A few I am providing the link.

A search in the literature would reveal myriad of factors such as:
Socio-cultural: religion, culture, customs, roles could dictate what households produce and/or consume (example pork, cattle, halal are religious issues; patriarchy/matriarchy, social structure, roles on the farm and in the society are worth consideration).
Market: access to inputs, demand for produce etc
Demographics: such as household size determines number of mouths to feed thereby putting stress on stock in poor households; gender roles and dimensions affect labour, access to land and resources; age affects nutrition requirement and power in decision-making, health and innovativeness; level of education etc
Income/level of poverty/credit-worthiness: access to resources such as agro-inputs and food.
