The Role of Indigenous Vegetables to Improve Food and Nutrition Security: Experiences From the Project HORTINLEA in Kenya (2014-2018)

Wolfgang Bokelmann et al.

Summary: Many warning signs indicate that the food security goals formulated in 2015 will not be achieved, particularly in Africa. Factors such as rapid population growth and dry periods have contributed to the lack of progress. Current production systems have led to a monotonous food supply and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. Utilizing underutilized species can diversify the food supply and contribute to nutrition security, especially for poorer populations.

Do women like to farm? Evidence of growing burdens of farming on women in rural India

Itishree Pattnaik et al.

Summary: Based on a survey conducted in the Indian states of West Bengal and Gujarat, this paper examines the impact of women's labor on their decision-making autonomy in agriculture. The findings suggest that women's labor burdens have increased without corresponding benefits, highlighting the invisibility of the preparatory work they do to support agriculture. Policymakers are urged to address rural women's discontent in order to promote the prosperity of farming in India and ensure fulfilling lives for women farmers.

No cash, no food. Gendered reorganization of livelihoods and food security in Cambodia

Christophe Gironde et al.

Summary: As the need for cash grows, men are primarily engaged in wage work while women also participate out of necessity. The new gender divisions of productive labour reshape normative gender roles and spaces, providing women some autonomy, but they still rely on men's income. Majority of women experience stress from lack of time and lack of money for food.

The discipline of context: commercializing a women's crop in Southern Malawi

Alastair Orr et al.

Summary: The commercialization of pigeonpea does not disempower women as men do not take control of women's crops. The study found that both women and men in Southern Malawi prefer to pool income from pigeonpea rather than have separate shares, indicating no significant differences in decision-making power. Women are only willing to accept a higher income if it is shared equally with their husbands, demonstrating a balanced and mutually beneficial relationship in the household.

Learnmore Mwadzingeni et al.

Summary: There is a need for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa to diversify into more nutrient-rich crops in order to meet nutritional needs and reduce health risks.
