Climate change affects every aspect of the food system, including all nodes along agri-food value chains from production to consumption, the food environments in which people live, and outcomes, such as diets and livelihoods.
Little is known about the effects of urbanization on women’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV).
Farmers usually do not know the precise output that is affected by climatic factors such as temperature and rainfall and are characterized by inter-annual variability, part of which is caused by global climate change.
Global health and development interventions often are predicated on the reallocation of women's time for the achievement of program objectives; yet research and programs have paid limited attention to women's preferences for and agency over their
Climate change poses a greater threat for more exposed and vulnerable countries, communities and social groups.
Evaluations of agricultural technologies rarely consider the implications of how adoption may alter the labor allocation of different individuals within a household.
Women and girls in poorer countries are affected in particular ways by the multiple crises the world is currently facing.
The COVID-19 pandemic had negative impacts on nutrition and strained intrahousehold relations, particularly among poorer households.
The 21st Century has been marked by increased volatility in food prices, with global price spikes in 2007-08, 2010-11, and again in 2021-22. The impact of food inflation on the risk of child undernutrition is not well understood, however.
This paper addresses women's empowerment in agriculture, innovations in its measurement, and emerging evidence. We discuss the evolution of the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment and gender equality since 2010.
This paper introduces a new framework to quantify costs and benefits for resilience-related outcomes of agricultural innovations targeting smallholder farmers.
Background
Measuring and understanding gender differences in property rights is key to informing policy decisions and guiding investments aimed at fostering gender equality. However, there are a myriad ways of assessing property rights.
Climate change affects men and women differently, and pre-existing gender disparities may worsen. We use a gendered computable general equilibrium model linked with microsimulations to assess the distributive effects of climate change in Bolivia.
Scant evidence exists to identify the effects of the pandemic on migrant women and the unique barriers on employment they endure.
Development programs often rely on locally hired agents for service delivery, especially for interventions promoting agricultural practices, health, and nutrition.
