Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWomen in agriculture in Pakistan 2014

No results found.Pakistan is a country with a great deal of diversity in culture, traditions, habits, attitudes and practices across its various provinces and regions, although there are similarities as well. So when the broad term of “Women in Agriculture” is used, it may not highlight the extensive and diverse role that women play in agriculture in one province or slightly limited and more specific role that women have in other provinces or regions. The role and responsibilities of women change as the geograph ic area changes, along with changing local customs and traditions. Even the gender roles, food and nutrition practices vary across different areas, ethnic groups as well as ecological zones. All these aspects result in different as well as similar kinds of constraints and challenges faced by women farmers in agriculture across the four provinces and three regions of Pakistan which are discussed in the specific chapters. In light of these constraints, certain key recommendations are given mainly focusing on promoting gender equality and empowerment of women in agriculture and identifying means of enhancing economic impact of women’s work in agriculture, improving household food security and nutrition.
