Viewpoint: The case for a six-dimensional food security framework

Jennifer Clapp et al.

Summary: This article argues for updating the definition of food security to include two additional dimensions proposed by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition: agency and sustainability. The article also shows that international policy guidance on the right to food already implies these dimensions, making it logical to adopt a six-dimensional framework for food security in policy and scholarly settings.

When Agronomy Flirts with Markets, Gender, and Nutrition: A Political Ecology of the New Green Revolution for Africa and Women's Food Security in Burkina Faso

William G. Moseley et al.

Summary: Advocates of the Green Revolution for Africa (GR4A) argue that involving smallholders in the global food economy through improved inputs, production technologies, and access to markets is the best way to address malnutrition. Moseley and Ouedraogo critically assess GR4A efforts in southwestern Burkina Faso targeting female rice farmers using a feminist political ecology lens. They analyze the nature of the GR4A rice value chain, the impact of the project on the nutrition of participating women, and the influence of gender roles on project outcomes.

Linkages between dietary diversity and indicators of agricultural biodiversity in Burkina Faso

A. Lourme-Ruiz et al.

Summary: The study assessed the relationships between women's dietary diversity and agricultural biodiversity in a cotton-growing region in rural western Burkina Faso. Results showed that women's dietary diversity is influenced by the production of nutritionally diverse crops and agroforestry trees on farms. The study found a positive association between women's dietary diversity score and production diversity score as well as the number of agroforestry tree species.
