Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureMaximizing nutrition in the livestock sector in Eswatini and Zimbabwe
In brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.The question of how to better incorporate nutrition into the livestock sector is a challenge shared by many policymakers and programme managers at regional, national and local levels, due to a lack of proven methodological tools setting out how to effectively achieve this. In response to this challenge, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with support from Action Contre la Faim and World Vision, has developed an innovative stepwise approach that combines theory and practice by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. This work was carried out as part of a consultative process involving expert stakeholders from Eswatini and Zimbabwe. The results obtained demonstrate the utility of this methodological process to help policy makers and technicians formulate and evaluate nutrition sensitive policies, programmes and interventions. This brief showcases a summary of the objectives and process involved in the approach. -

A guidance note on impact pathways for mainstreaming nutrition based on a case study from Ghana
2021Also available in:
No results found.Ghana’s agricultural sector plays a vital role in income generation, foreign exchange earnings, employment, and food security for over 70 percent of its people. Despite the significant role of the crop production sector, limited attention has been given to maximizing its potential to address food insecurity and malnutrition. For that reason, FAO, in collaboration with World Vision, has produced this guidance note on mainstreaming nutrition into the crop production sector using a food systems approach. This guidance note aims to inform national-level policymakers and key participants in the food system on the issues and opportunities relating to Ghana’s fruit and vegetable value chain, with a particular focus on smallholder households. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe gender gap in land rights 2018
Also available in:
No results found.For rural women and men, land is often the most important household asset for supporting agricultural production and providing food security and nutrition. Evidence shows that secure land tenure is strongly associated with higher levels of investment and productivity in agriculture – and therefore with higher incomes and greater economic wellbeing. Secure land rights for women are often correlated with better outcomes for them and their families, including greater bargaining power at household and community levels, better child nutrition and lower levels of gender-based violence. However, in many parts of the world both men and women have inadequate access to secure rights over land. Women are particularly disadvantaged in this regard. Reliable, sex-disaggregated data on land is crucial for highlighting disparities in land rights between women and men; this enables us to improve policy formulation and to monitor progress towards gender equality in agriculture and land tenure. Although there are significant efforts underway to collect better and more relevant data on land rights, there is still a lack of understanding as to what data are available and needed, and what they can tell us about women’s land rights. This information brief highlights the key concepts around land rights, the various indicators that are needed to understand the gender gap, and the statistics available for each indicator. The brief also describes the issues surrounding the statistics, and offers potential policy responses for improving women’s land rights and the monitoring of those rights. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest book地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
Also available in:
在很多重要文件中，传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食，但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面，地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例，研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上，这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程，与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素，还要考虑生物活性化合物，后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后，本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题：规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性，并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品，因此，附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。 -
