This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was undertaken with an overall objective of assessment of food consumption pattern, calorie and nutrient derivation. In Tumakuru district of Karnataka state, primary data were collected from 120 rural households. The rural households inadequately consumed proteins, milk and milk products. In terms of vegetables, fruits and egg and meat consumption, they were severely inadequate. Among the nutrients intake, the households were inadequate in fats, iron, riboflavin, niacin and carotene intake. The subsidized food items through PDS had greatly helped in attainment of calorie security but had severely lacked in terms of providing balanced diet security. In the presence of food subsidy, share of total expenditure on food was 67.24 per cent among AAY farm households and 59.98 per cent among BPL farm households, which would rise to 75.16 per cent and 65.62 per cent, respectively in the absence of food subsidy. In the presence of food subsidy, proportion of income saved was 30.72 per cent among AAY farm households and 24.19 per cent among BPL farm households, which would decrease to 8.65 per cent and 11.76 per cent, respectively in the absence of food subsidy. In the presence of food subsidy, the vulnerability to food insecurity of AAY farm, AAY non-farm and BPL non-farm households reduced significantly. The optimized food expenditure per consumptive unit per day for major nutrients and all nutrients was Rs. 34.49 and Rs. 36.56 respectively. The food basket of rural households needs to be expanded to ensure nutritional security.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing food security in a predominantly rural economy such as India, requires an understanding not only of how agricultural policies of food supply and incomes but also how households acquire food and cope with insecurity of food. Many economists regard income as the main indicator of welfare, but other planners maintain that food consumption, health and nutrition of household members are also important in defining a household s standard of living. The main concerned of this study is to trace the pathways from economic and social policies to food security and ultimately to nutrition. Contents: Introduction, Review of Literature, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Summary and Conclusions.

Book Synopsis Food Policy and Food Security by : Naznin Sultana
Download or read book Food Policy and Food Security written by Naznin Sultana and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food policy is a strategy that any government should pursue as part of their public policy. Food policy includes aspects such as food production, distribution, consumption, availability, purchasing procedures, and techniques of food processing and marketing. For developing the necessary level of food security, the food policy is working as an initiative at the domestic level which is also helpful to ensure a safe and adequate supply of food for the general public. In this research we study the impact of food support, which is part of the food policy, on the household's daily calorie intake, as well as food security index, by using telephone interview survey data from three sub-districts of the Rajshahi district (Puthia, Paba and Charghat) in Bangladesh. The survey was conducted using 160 households from these three sub-districts, and among them 67 households (41.9 percent) were food support receivers while the rest, i.e. 93 households (58.1 percent) were food support non-receivers. In this research, the daily mean calorie intake, head count ratio, shortfall or surplus index and food security index are calculated to identify the extent of food insecurity among the respondents. The PSM (propensity score matching technique) is used to assess the effects of food policy on rural household's food security. Results have shown that, dissimilarities exist in unobserved characteristics between the groups of food support receivers and non-receivers, as food prices and agricultural production may influence the household's decision to receive government food support. This influenced both the calorie intake and food security index of the sample respondents. A comparison of the means of the matched sample, showed that the two groups did not differ in food expenditure. Therefore, the impact of government food support on the calorie intake or food security index in the present study may not be underestimated, due to the likely heterogeneity in agricultural production. The results also suggest that natural disasters like floods, cyclone, drought, and improper distribution of food which are unobserved characteristics for the sample may influence food support received. Descriptive statistics suggested that the age of the household head and income earning member did not differ in the matched sample. Therefore, households' monthly income did not likely differ between the two groups. The results also indicate that there is no proper distribution of food supplied by the government among the rural households in the study area as well as food support is insufficient compared to necessity and, thus, food support receivers and non-receivers were unlikely to differ in this regard. Finally, the researcher generated some policy suggestions which might be useful to policy makers as well as decision-makers of the relevant authorities. The study recommended that government should keep an updated database including necessary information about the poor and marginalized people; should take measures to reduce corruption in the case of food distribution, and extend the food coverage to cover more poor people in order to implement the food support program effectively. Food policy can be efficiently implemented in a well-functioning socio-economic system. The study concludes that measures such as employment generation, control of food prices, support for producing more food locally and increasing the amount of subsidy for the agricultural sector could contribute to solving the problem of food insecurity at the level of rural households in the study area.

Book Synopsis Who's Hungry? And how Do We Know? by : Laurie Fields DeRose
Download or read book Who's Hungry? And how Do We Know? written by Laurie Fields DeRose and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recognizes that any attempt to reduce hunger requires a sound understanding of which people are affected. It differentiates between food shortage (regional food scarcity), food poverty (inadequate household food supplies), and food deprivation (individual malnutrition) in order to identify the causes of hunger and recommend ways to effectively target interventions. It also focuses on a critical second question--how do we know who the hungry are? The authors explain commonly-used means of measuring hunger, the assumptions embedded in these measures, and what can and cannot be concluded from the evidence. They examine how rules for food distribution operate under normal versus crisis conditions. The shortage/poverty/deprivation framework is designed to call attention to hunger even when food is abundant, as well as to learn how hunger is avoided even when food is scarce. With many tools in place for combating hunger, the book draws attention to the policies that are working and to the individuals, households, and communities that are underserved. The book refines common thinking about the underlying causes of hunger by examining who are most affected.
Download or read book Voice and Agency written by Jeni Klugman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.

Book Synopsis The global economy of pulses by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book The global economy of pulses written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production, trade and consumption of pulses have seen substantial growth over the last fifteen years. This report examines the trends and patterns of this growth, and the factors that explain these for different kinds of pulses. The report presents an analysis of trends of consumption of pulses in different regions of the world and discusses the role that pulses can play in human nutrition. The report presents an analysis of the dynamics of growth of major pulses in different pulse-producing countries of the world. It describes the increasingly important role of trade in the global economy of pulses and presents an analysis of changing patterns of trade. The report argues that there is a pressing need to close the large gap between potential and actual yields, particularly on smallholder farms in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, by increased adoption of improved varieties and modern agronomic practices in all developing countries. This in turn requires a major thrust in agricultural research and extension, improving credit availability, and public investment directed at pulse production. The report discusses future prospects and policy imperatives for sustaining the growth of pulse production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rapid appraisal is a less structured data collection method aimed at supplying needed information in a timely and cost-effective manner. This volume outlines five rapid data collection methods - key informant interviews, focus group discussions, group ... See More + interviews, structured observation, and informal surveys. Each of these methods has been used by exponents of rapid appraisal. Case studies are used to illustrate the use of these methods in development settings especially in evaluation of development projects and programs. The authors show that rapid appraisals can be a complement to standard social research methods which are not often used to meet the pressing information needs of decision-makers in development."--World Bank.

Book Synopsis Diversifying Food and Diets by : Jessica Fanzo
Download or read book Diversifying Food and Diets written by Jessica Fanzo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently 868 million people are undernourished and 195 million children under five years of age are stunted. At the same time, over 1 billion people are overweight and obese in both the developed and developing world. Diseases previously associated with affluence, such as cancer, diabetes and cardio-vascular disease, are on the rise. Food system-based approaches to addressing these problems that could enhance food availability and diet quality through local production and agricultural biodiversity often fall outside the traditional scope of nutrition, and have been under-researched. As a consequence, there remains insufficient evidence to support well-defined, scalable agricultural biodiversity interventions that can be linked to improvements in nutrition outcomes. Agricultural biodiversity is important for food and nutritional security, as a safeguard against hunger, a source of nutrients for improved dietary diversity and quality, and strengthening local food systems and environmental sustainability. This book explores the current state of knowledge on the role of agricultural biodiversity in improving diets, nutrition and food security. Using examples and case studies from around the globe, the book explores current strategies for improving nutrition and diets and identifies key research and implementation gaps that need to be addressed to successfully promote the better use of agricultural biodiversity for rural and urban populations and societies in transition.

Book Synopsis Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook by : World Bank
Download or read book Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook' provides an up-to-date understanding of gender issues and a rich compilation of compelling evidence of good practices and lessons learned to guide practitioners in integrating gender dimensions into agricultural projects and programs. It is serves as a tool for: guidance; showcasing key principles in integrating gender into projects; stimulating the imagination of practitioners to apply lessons learned, experiences, and innovations to the design of future support and investment in the agriculture sector. The Sourcebook draws on a wide range of experience from World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and other donor agencies, governments, institutions, and groups active in agricultural development. The Sourcebook looks at: access to and control of assets; access to markets, information and organization; and capacity to manage risk and vulnerability through a gender lens. There are 16 modules covering themes of cross-cutting importance for agriculture with strong gender dimensions (Policy, Public Administration and Governance; Agricultural Innovation and Education; Food Security; Markets; Rural Finance; Rural Infrastructure; Water; Land; Labor; Natural Resource Management; and Disaster and Post-Conflict Management) and specific subsectors in agriculture (Crops, Livestock, Forestry, and Fisheries). A separate module on Monitoring and Evaluation is included, responding to the need to track implementation and development impact. Each module contains three different sub-units: (1) A Module Overview gives a broad introduction to the topic and provides a summary of major development issues in the sector and rationale of looking at gender dimension; (2) Thematic Notes provide a brief and technically sound guide in gender integration in selected themes with lessons learned, guidelines, checklists, organizing principles, key questions, and key performance indicators; and (3) Innovative Activity Profiles describe the design and innovative features of recent and exciting projects and activities that have been implemented or are ongoing.
