    Abstract:
    A cross-sectional study of nutritional status was carried out in Gondar region, Northwest Ethiopia in 1988. The objectives of the study were to compare the nutritional status of pre-school children of cooperative (Coops) and individual (Non-Coops) farmers and to determine factors accountable for the differences in the two groups of children, such as land size and income. A total of 376 children were studied. Although the overall malnutrition rate was found to be very high, the nutritional status of the pre-school children of the Coops was significantly better than that of the Non-Coops. The mean land size of the Coops and Non-Coops was 3.63 and 1.44 ha. and the mean annual income was 1,017 and 329 Ethiopian birr, respectively.
