Also available in:
No results found.This study was developed in order to portray, with high-quality, representative data, the main characteristics of poverty, food insecurity and vulnerability in rural areas of Guatemala.

The study is aimed at policymakers and practitioners working in agrifood systems in rural Guatemala. The findings may also be relevant for other readers interested in rural livelihoods, diversification strategies and inclusivity analyses, and the challenges faced by vulnerable groups such as Indigenous Peoples, women and youth.
