This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the linkages between irrigation and nutrition using data from irrigators and non-irrigators in Northern Ghana. The results show that (i) there is a modest difference in the overall household dietary diversity score between irrigators and non-irrigators, (ii) there are significant differences in the consumption of animal source foods between irrigators and non-irrigators, (iii) there are significant differences in the consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as sugar and honey between irrigators and non-irrigators, and (iv) the sources of food consumption differ between irrigators and non-irrigators. The analysis shows strong association between households’ nutritional status and their access to irrigation, with evidences suggesting that the irrigation-nutrition linkages play out both through the income and production pathways in Northern Ghana.

Download or read book Women’s empowerment and child nutrition in polygynous households of Northern Ghana written by Bourdier, Tomoé and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather shocks and other shocks affecting the economy of farm households often trigger a cascade of coping mechanisms, from reducing food consumption to selling assets, with potentially lasting consequences on child development. In polygynous households (in which a man is married to several women), the factors that may aggravate or mitigate the impacts of such adverse events are still poorly understood. In particular, little is known about the complex mechanisms through which women’s empowerment may affect the allocation of household resources in the presence of more than one female decision-maker. Where polygyny is associated with discriminatory social norms, co-wives may have limited bargaining power, which may translate into poorer outcomes for their children. While competition between co-wives may generate inefficiencies in the allocation of household resources, cooperation in the domains of agricultural production or domestic labor may lead to economies of scale and facilitate informal risk sharing. The rank of each co-wife may also have a strong influence on the welfare of her own children, relative to other children. Using the Feed the Future Ghana Population Survey data, I investigate the relationship between polygyny and children’s nutrition, and how it may be mediated through women’s bargaining power. Using the age of each co-wife as a proxy for rank, I also study how the senior-wife status of a mother may influence her children’s nutrition outcomes.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food security is defined as the ability of countries, regions, or households to meet their required levels of food consumption at all times. Food security is an important component of human welfare, and it can act as an indicator of a region's development. This book addresses the roles of trade, policy development, and economic cooperation in creating sustainable food security in the West African region. The largely micro-level analysis is conducted on empirical data from the household where decisions on production and consumption take place. Food security is discussed in terms of its component parts, namely: availability of food (production and trade), its accessibility (incomes and poverty status), and its utilisation (health and nutrition).

Download or read book Comparative Analysis of Food Security Status of Farming Households in Eastern and Northern Regions of Ghana written by Gabriella Mamley Djangmah and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Currently, almost 33 percent of the population of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are undernourished and is the only region of the world where hunger is projected to worsen over the next two decades. According to the World Food Program, over 2 million people were most vulnerable of becoming food insecure throughout Ghana in 2012. The issues of food security in northern Ghana has gained a top priority in many areas of policy making. However, the prevalence of food inadequacy as a result of insufficient resources to access food among individual household has led to increasing food insecurity in the country. By using the sixth round of Ghana Living Standard Survey (GLSS) data conducted from 2012/2013, the study aimed at analysing food security status across farming households in Eastern region and compare it to the Northern region of Ghana. The food security index generated from Cost-of-Calorie method was adopted and the recommended daily requirement was used to determine the household food security status. The factors influencing household food security status was then examined using logistic regression model. The analysis indicates that almost half of the sampled farming households in Eastern region (42.7%) and Northern region (46.0%) were food insecure. The depth of food insecurity indicates that farming households in Eastern region consumed 34% less than their daily calorie requirement while farming households in Northern region consumed 40% less than the requirement. The logistic result shows that monthly household income, off-farm activities and total quantity of own farm production positively and significantly influenced households' food security in Eastern region. It was revealed that household size negatively and significantly affected food security in Eastern region. Further, monthly household income, total quantity of own farm production and dependency ratio positively and significantly affected households' food security in Northern region. The factors that were negatively and significantly affecting household food security in Northern region included the size of households and the number of years spent in education. Policies which targeted to increase income of farmers through the provision of other activities aside farming, to help boost total yields of farming households, and intensive family planning awareness raising programs have key roles to play in these areas in order to improve households' food security in Ghana. The study recommends special training that relate to agriculture so that farmers can utilize whatever knowledge or skills acquired in their production activities to achieve food security in the future." --

This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents an in-depth analysis of the food system in Ghana with the dual purpose of providing an overview of the current situation, and identifying opportunities for leveraging the role of small and medium-sized enterprises for nutrition-sensitive food systems. The data collected and the results of the analysis enhance the understanding of some of the challenges that, in the Ghanaian context, contribute to determining diet-related issues; more importantly, the analysis identifies opportunities and entry points for improving diets by overcoming some of the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises. The information provided could be of support not only for further analyses, but also for planning interventions and designing policies to improve nutrition in Ghana and in other contexts.

This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ghana Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) Baseline Evaluation Survey (GARBES) survey was implemented from May to July 2014 as part of IFPRI’s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Africa RISING. Africa RISING aims to create opportunities for smallholder farmers in Africa south of the Sahara (through action research and development partnerships) by sustainably intensifying their farming systems and improving food, nutrition, and income security. Initiated in 2012, the program is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future (FTF) initiative. The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) leads a sustainable intensification effort focusing on the cereal-based farming systems in the Guinea Savannah Zone of West Africa (Ghana and Mali) and East and Southern Africa (Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia) while the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) leads the research activities focusing on the crop-livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has been tasked with M&E of the three projects. Ghana Africa RISING is being implemented in Northern, Upper East, and Upper West regions of Ghana, within the FTF Zones of Influence. The research activities are led by IITA and Wageningen University (WUR). GARBES collected detailed household- and plot-crop level data addressing various topics: employment (agricultural and non-agricultural); health; agricultural land; crop inputs, harvest, storage, and sale; livestock ownership, feed, and water; agriculture-related challenges and coping strategies; credit and off-farm income sources; housing condition and ownership of various durable assets; subjective welfare and food security; household-level food consumption; non-food expenditure; agricultural shocks; and child and women anthropometry. The community survey collected data on access to basic services; extension services; social organizations, mobility, and village-level shocks; access to natural resources; metric conversion units; and prices of crops and food items. GARBES covered 1,284 households and 50 communities drawn from the three project regions. Data were collected using structured questionnaires in multiple local languages through Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (using SurveyCTO).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity remains a serious challenge amid the increasing population, especially in developing countries. Unravelling the determinants of food insecurity will contribute to policy aimed at addressing this menace. The study contributes to addressing SDG goal 2 of zero hunger in Ghana by examining the factors responsible for insecurity and how it can be tackled through policy. The purpose of this research is to examine the determinants of food security across the regions of Ghana. The study employed the Ghana living standard survey (GLSS 7) data. Households' food security was measured using a food consumption score (FCS). The partial proportional odds model (PPO) was employed to analyse the drivers of household food security in Ghana due to the categorical nature of the dependent variable. The results show that being a male, engaging in farming or non-farm employment, and living in rural areas decrease the household's chances of falling into food poverty. However, larger household sizes, as well as increased education raise the odds of falling into consumption poverty at the household level. The study, therefore, concluded that households in Ghana are poor food consumption resulting from several factors amongst other are; education level, employment status, engagement in farming, and the location of the household. Policies that ensure food availability in both urban and rural communities which will improve resilience and improve household food and nutrition security should be a priority to facilitate the country's achievement of the sustainable development goals.

Download or read book Rural Development in Northern Ghana written by Joseph Awetori Yaro and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural development is still an important policy goal in most developing countries where a high proportion of the population lives and works in rural areas. This book provides in-depth empirical discussions of contemporary development issues of rural development in northern Ghana with wider applicability in terms of the processes, needs, strategies, and recommendations for policy for most of the savannah ecological zone of Africa. Although the rest of Ghana is developing much faster than northern Ghana, its people perceive substantial positive changes in their conditions of life as prosperity trickles, albeit slowly down and out to them. Environmental change and economic globalization is rendering ineffective the adaptive strategies of poor farmers in northern Ghana. This book is an important resource for students, researchers, policy makers and NGOs with interest in rural development, dry land areas, marginalized areas and general development. The descriptions and discussions of contemporary challenges of rural development issues using vivid case studies are of relevance for comparison to different and similar country situations.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
