Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A manual for nutritionists, food economists, and food policy makers is designed to aid planners in integrating food consumption and nutritional considerations into agricultural and rural development projects. The manual: (1) provides guidelines, suggested methods, detailed descriptions, and checklists of steps to be taken; (2) describes the stages and processes in a development project cycle to help nutrition planners coordinate their work with other planners; and (3) stresses the importance of communication among planners, administrators, and recipients involved in development projects to reduce malnutrition and promote nutritional status. The various sections of the manual cover: background information for and relevance of incorporating nutrition planning into agricultural and rural development projects; the stages of project development; initial review and assessments; in-depth project preparation; and project implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Additional reference information and guidelines are appended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on studies from Africa, Asia and South America, this book provides empirical evidence and conceptual explorations of the gendered dimensions of food security. It investigates how food security and gender inequity are conceptualized within interventions, assesses the impacts and outcomes of gender-responsive programs on food security and gender equity and addresses diverse approaches to gender research and practice that range from descriptive and analytical to strategic and transformative. The chapters draw on diverse theoretical perspectives, including transformative learning, feminist theory, deliberative democracy and technology adoption. As a result, they add important conceptual and empirical material to a growing literature on the challenges of gender equity in agricultural production. A unique feature of this book is the integration of both analytic and transformative approaches to understanding gender and food security. The analytic material shows how food security interventions enable women and men to meet the long-term nutritional needs of their households, and to enhance their economic position. The transformative chapters also document efforts to build durable and equitable relationships between men and women, addressing underlying social, cultural and economic causes of gender inequality. Taken together, these combined approaches enable women and men to reflect on gendered divisions of labor and resources related to food, and to reshape these divisions in ways which benefit families and communities.

This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of women’s roles for nutrition-sensitive agricultural projects is increasingly recognized, yet little is known about whether such projects improve women’s empowerment and gender equality. We study the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Gender Linkages (ANGeL) pilot project, which was implemented as a cluster-randomized controlled trial by the Government of Bangladesh. The project’s treatment arms included agricultural training, nutrition behavior change communication (BCC), and gender sensitization trainings to husbands and wives together – with these components combined additively, such that the impact of gender sensitization could be distinguished from that of agriculture and nutrition trainings. Empowerment was measured using the internationally-validated project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI), and attitudes regarding gender roles were elicited from both men and women, to explore potentially gender-transformative impacts. Our study finds that ANGeL increased both women’s and men’s empowerment, raised the prevalence of households achieving gender parity, and led to small improvements in the gender attitudes of both women and men. We find significant increases in women’s empowerment scores and empowerment status from all treatment arms but with no significant differences across these. We find no evidence of unintended impacts on workloads and we note inconclusive evidence of possible increases in intimate partner violence (IPV). Our results also suggest some potential benefits of bundling nutrition and gender components with an agricultural development intervention; however, many of these benefits seem to be driven by bundling nutrition with agriculture. While we cannot assess the extent to which including men and women within the same treatment arms contributed to our results, it is plausible that the positive impacts of all treatment arms on women’s empowerment outcomes may have arisen from implementation modalities that provided information to both husbands and wives when they were together. The role of engaging men and women jointly in interventions is a promising area for future research.

Book excerpt: The XI INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF NUTRITION - XI ICN - pro moted by the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES - IUNS -, and organized by the BRAZILIAN NUTRITION SOCIETY - BNS - was held in the Convention Center of the Hotel Nacional, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 27th to September 1st, 1978. Taking place for the first time in the southern hemisphere, the XI ICN received the collaboration and participation of various international agencies, includin~ the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization (PARO) , the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agriculture Organi zation (FAO) , the International Fund for Agricultural Development (!FAD), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Food Program (WFP) and the World Food Council (WFC). The meeting had a multi-disciplinary character, with the par ticipation of professionals and students from the different sec tors related to the field of food and nutrition, and aroused con siderable interest, which was demonstrated by the presence of 5,026 participants from 92 countries,and the presentation of more than 1,200 scientific papers.

Download or read book Nutrition sensitive agriculture written by Ruel, Marie T. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing number of governments, donor agencies, and development organizations are committed to supporting nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) to achieve their development goals. Although consensus exists on pathways through which agriculture may influence nutrition-related outcomes, empirical evidence on agriculture’s contribution to nutrition and how it can be enhanced is still weak. This paper reviews recent empirical evidence (since 2014), including findings from impact evaluations of a variety of NSA programs using experimental designs as well as observational studies that document linkages between agriculture, women’s empowerment, and nutrition. It summarizes existing knowledge regarding not only impacts but also pathways, mechanisms, and contextual factors that affect where and how agriculture may improve nutrition outcomes. The paper concludes with reflections on implications for agricultural programs, policies, and investments, and highlights future research priorities.
