Book (series)The relationships between food security and violent conflicts: The case of El Salvador 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The relationships between food security and violent conflicts are conditioned, mediated and influenced by the specific context in which they take place. El Salvador is a peculiar case in that over three decades it has faced two different types of violence consecutively (the civil war and widespread post-war violence), which have had different impacts on food security. This analysis shows that no matter how successful peace processes may be at putting an end to armed confrontation and ensuring a degree of political and social stability, they are not sufficient to prevent new conflicts and new forms of violence if those processes are not linked with and complemented by medium- and long-term public policies aimed at altering structural factors that generate violence and social conflict, including the persistence of food insecurity. It also shows that adverse natural phenomena and external economic shocks play a fundamental role in the relationships between food security and violent con flicts due to their persistent negative impact on agricultural production and urban and rural household income. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)FAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO ANGOLA - 15 June 1999 1999
Also available in:
Following the collapse of the peace process and renewed warfare in late 1998, the number of displaced rural people has increased significantly, amounting to some 1.7 million in May 1999. As the eruption of hostilities occurred at the beginning of the cropping season, there has been growing concern that food production would be seriously reduced, and that the country might need large-scale international food assistance. Against this background, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Miss ion was fielded to Angola from 11-22 May 1999 to assess the impact of the displacement of farm families on foodcrop production for the 1998/99 agricultural year, estimate the national cereal import requirement for the 1999/2000 marketing year (April/March) and review the food aid needs of the affected people. The Mission was joined by observers from the European Union (EU), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID-FEWS), the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC-REWU) and Save the Children Fund (SCF/UK). This year, preparatory assistance for the Mission was provided by the FAO-supported Early Warning project which assists the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) as well as the Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (VAM) Unit of the WFP Office in Angola. A pre-evaluation of the situation had been undertaken based on field visits to some provinces and the gathering of reports from the provincial offices of MINADER. This information, particular ly data on the farming population and areas planted, provided an important input for the Mission's assessment and findings.
