Book excerpt: Este informe, dirigido a los responsables políticos y a los agentes del desarrollo, se publica más de un decenio después de la presentación de El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2010-2011: El papel de la mujer en la agricultura. Reducir las diferencias de género en favor del desarrollo, en el que se instaba a eliminar las desigualdades de género en el acceso a los bienes, insumos y servicios agrícolas, y se analizaban los colosales costes de la desigualdad de género, no solo para las mujeres y el sector agrícola, sino también para la economía en general y la sociedad en su conjunto. En esta nueva edición se ofrece una visión detallada de la situación de las mujeres que trabajan no solo en la agricultura, sino en todos los sectores de los sistemas agroalimentarios. Se destaca el papel protagonista de la igualdad de género y del empoderamiento de las mujeres en la transición hacia sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles y resilientes, así como la contribución que esta transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios puede aportar. En este trabajo se proporciona un análisis detallado de los datos producidos en los últimos 10 años sobre la cuestión de la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres en los sistemas agroalimentarios, y se presenta una imagen detallada de lo que funciona y recomendaciones específicas sobre el camino que se debe seguir.

This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muchos de los programas de protección social, incluyendo los de transferencias monetarias, de obras públicas y de transferencias de activos, se dirigen a las mujeres como principales beneficiarias o receptoras de los beneficios. Extender la protección social a las poblaciones rurales tiene un gran potencial para fomentar el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres rurales. Sin embargo, para aprovechar este potencial, son necesarias acciones adicionales. Existe un amplio margen para hacer que las políticas y programas de protección social sean más sensibles al género y para alinearlos mejor con las políticas de desarrollo agrícola y rural para contribuir a enfrentar las desigualdades de género. Reconociendo este potencial y aprovechando la evidencia existente, la FAO busca mejorar la contribución de la protección social a la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres mediante la asistencia técnica a nivel país para el desarrollo de capacidades, la generación de conocimiento y el apoyo programático. Para avanzar en esta agenda, la FAO ha desarrollado la Caja de herramientas para programas de protección social sensibles al género orientados a luchar contra la pobreza y el hambre en el medio rural. La Caja de herramientas está diseñada para apoyar a los formuladores de políticas y profesionales en sus esfuerzos para aplicar sistemáticamente un enfoque de género que esté en línea con los acuerdos globales y los compromisos de la FAO para ampliar los sistemas de protección social inclusivos a las poblaciones rurales. Esta Caja se enfoca en el rol de la protección social para reducir las desigualdades sociales de género, así como la pobreza y el hambre en las zonas rurales.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
Download or read book Gender and Climate Change An Introduction written by Irene Dankelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.
Download or read book A Passion for Difference written by Henrietta L. Moore and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new book Henrietta Moore examines the nature and limitations of the theoretical languages used by anthropologists and others to write about sex, gender and sexuality. Moore begins by discussing recent feminist debates on the body and the notion of the non-universal human subject. She then considers why anthropologists have contributed relatively little to these debates, and suggests that this has much to do with the history of anthropological thought with regard to the conceptualization of "persons" and "selves" cross-culturally. Moore develops a specific anthropological approach to feminist post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory. In subsequent chapters Moore pursues a series of related themes including the links between gender, identity and violence; questions of gender and identity in the context of intra-household resource allocation; the construction of domestic space and its relationship to bodily practices and the internationalization of relations of difference; and the links between the gender of the anthropologist and the writing of anthropology. This volume demonstrates anthropology's contribution to current debates in feminist theory.

Download or read book The Quiet Revolution in Staple Food Value Chains written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major changes have been occurring almost unnoticed in staple value chains in Asia. The Quiet Revolution in Staple Food Value Chains documents and explains the transformation of value chains moving rice and potatoes between the farm gate and the consumer in Bangladesh, the People’s Republic of China, and India. The changes noted are the rapid rise of supermarkets, modern cold storage facilities, large rice mills, and commercialized small farmers using input-intensive, mechanized technologies. These changes affect food security in ways that are highly relevant for policymakers across Asia—the rise of supermarkets provides cheaper staples, more direct relations in the chains combined with branding have increased traceability, and the rise of cold storage has brought higher incomes for potato farmers and all-season access for potato consumers. The book also joins two debates that have long been separate and parallel—food industry and agribusiness development and market competitiveness—with the food security and poverty alleviation agend

Download or read book Cradle to Cradle written by William McDonough and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.
