This report outlines recent (2007-2017) changes in agricultural practices for the main field crops grown in Myanmar’s Dry Zone, based on information gathered from the Rural Economy and Agriculture Dry Zone (READZ) survey.

Study offers the following important findings relating to off-farm incomes in the Dry Zone.

La présente note stratégique résume les recherches présentées dans un document de travail de l’Institut international de recherche sur les politiques alimentaires (Fanzo et al., 2017b) qui utilise l’approche des systèmes alimentaires pour analyser

This research highlight presents findings on access to and use of agricultural credit by farm households in Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone. Data was collected by the Rural Economy Agriculture Dry Zone Survey (READZ).

Fish farming (aquaculture) has grown rapidly in Myanmar over the last two decades and plays an increasingly important role in national fish supply, but its technical and economic characteristics have been little studied.

Agriculture is central to Myanmar’s rural economy, and Ayeyarwady and Yangon regions are considered to be the country’s ‘rice bowl’. Yet few detailed data are available on the characteristics of agriculture in this important area.

This policy brief draws on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Maubin township, Ayeyarwady – one of the most important locations for aquaculture (fish farming) in Myanmar.

This note seeks to contribute to the ongoing debates around the revision of Myanmar’s 2012 Farmland Law.

Public infrastructure development since 2011 has been extremely rapid, reflecting changing budgetary priorities at the union level.

In this research highlight, we present analysis of agricultural land use, distribution, access, tenure, land markets, and historical patterns of ownership and disposal.

In this note, we summa-rize new evidence from a recent IFPRI study that documents the relative importance of losses in value chains for staple foods in six countries, review the evidence on which crops are most affected by losses, and outline ways

To guide these activities, IFPRI has developed a conceptual framework that integrates climate resilience, gender, and nutrition, with input from USAID and its implementing partners.

This policy note summarizes research presented in an International Food Policy Research Institute discussion paper (Fanzo et al.

Climate change, coupled with high levels of poverty and population density, is a substantial threat to sustainable development in Bangladesh.

Climate change is a substantial threat to sustainable development in Zambia, a country experiencing weather hazards, drought and dry spells, seasonal and flash floods, and extreme temperatures that may well increase under climate change.

Pour guider ces activités, l’IFPRI a mis au point un cadre conceptuel qui intègre aux contributions de l’USAID et de ses partenaires opérationnels les dimensions de résilience climatique, de genre et de nutrition.

Smallholder farmers in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere are highly exposed to crises or “shocks” in both their physical and their socioeconomic environments.
