Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) has been promoted as a key approach in addressing the effects of climate change.

Water and nutrition are linked in multiple ways, but few of these interlinkages are well understood. What is, for example, the exact relationship between water pollution and health or between water resource management and nutrition?

What drives tax compliance among informal workers and does it affect demands for political representation?

Rural populations face a much higher burden of child undernutrition than urban populations, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa, a continent where many households still live in remote rural areas.

Advanced parametric financial instruments, like weather index insurance (WII) and risk contingency credit (RCC), support disaster-risk management and reduction in the world’s most disaster-prone regions.

This study examines when and why some informal workers pay these taxes and, in turn, how tax compliance affects political representation.

We explore how water pollution policy reforms in China could reduce industrial wastewater pollution with minimum adverse impact on GDP growth.

Malnutrition is a multicausal challenge that requires multisectoral responses to make comprehensive and sustainable progress, over the long term.

Despite significant improvements over recent decades, rates of undernutrition remain high in South Asia, with adverse impacts on morbidity and mortality.

The urban population in Africa south of the Sahara (SSA) is expected to expand rapidly from 376 million people in 2015 to more than 1.25 billion people by 2050.

Agricultural GDP in Ethiopia grew at an average 7.3 percent per year between 2001/02 and 2012/13.

This Data Note describes the prevalence of anemia and its determinants (as listed on page 11), and coverage of a set of key interventions targeted at improving anemia.

Increasing the efficiency of agricultural production—getting more output from the same amount of resources—is critical for improving food security. To measure the efficiency of agricultural systems, we use total factor productivity (TFP).

Food policy research plays a crucial role in guiding the agricultural development of countries. To achieve food security goals, countries need to strengthen their capacity to conduct food policy research.

This dataset was created by re-compiling available open, gender/sex-disaggregated Feed the Future data for Ghana and applying standard processing methods to enhance their accessibility and interoperability.

Policy makers recognize that increased investment in agricultural research is key to increasing agricultural productivity.
