Book excerpt: For the last decades problem of food insecurity has been outstanding challenge for most Sub Saharan countries. As a result of which these countries were forced to design strategies that they alleged it would enable their people to come out of the problem of food insecurity. Hence enhancing agricultural production and productivity is opted as the best alternative since it is believed that the rural community drives their income from their small farms. Informed by the above idea these countries are used to allocate huge amount of their annual budget to reverse the situation. Because the strategy neglected resource poor farmers, landless rural households and their livelihood strategies, failed to reduce hunger and rural poverty in those countries.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive growth and poverty reduction requires an understanding of the constraints to increasing productivity of the informal sector, which employs the majority of Zambians. Zambians working in this sector are poor, have little education, die young from avoidable diseases, and live predominantly in rural areas. Even if more opportunities for formal employment currently existed, this population would not be qualified for these jobs. Their productive inclusion in society, and making sure they can invest in their children's futures to break the intergenerational transmission of poverty, requires rural investment that can help unlock constraints to informal sector productivity. A recent review of the constraints that women face, relative to men, reveal that women's business performance is affected by a combination of contextual factors and gender differences. This qualitative study sought to understand : (a) the key livelihood strategies used by women and men in Zambia; (b) the key constraints that women and men face; (c) how these constraints shape the strategies that are available; and (d) what women and men understand about human rights. The research had a specific focus on identifying responses that could help to increase women's economic empowerment.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several governments, researchers and development practitioners have identified the youth as an integral part of the strategy for reducing poverty and food insecurity in Africa. Despite youths being at the centre of food and nutrition security, their contribution to household food security remains understudied. The lack of such evidence has made it difficult to inform evidence-based policymaking and design of poverty and food insecurity reduction interventions. As a result, policy interventions are not effective in achieving the international goal of reducing poverty and food insecurity. Thus, the study investigates the contribution of rural youth livelihoods to household food security in Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe. A sample of 200 randomly selected youths was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that agriculture was the main livelihood strategy, despite the being the least remunerative. Factors ranging from personal, socio-economic to livelihood capitals were found to have a statistically significant influence on the choice of livelihood strategy. Furthermore, the results indicated a high prevalence of food insecurity, most notably severe food insecurity. The high level of food insecurity was associated with the type of livelihood strategy, social economic characteristics, and livelihood capitals. The study findings suggest that effective rural youth interventions on food security should be guided by the type of livelihood strategy, youth socio-economic characteristics and livelihood capitals.

Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
