The Commons
Author: Stéphanie LeyronasPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464819920
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
'The Commons' explores the many forms of development being championed by Africa's residents, users, and citizens. In addition to managing property and shared tangible and intangible resources collectively, communities are experimenting with a concept of 'commoning' founded on values such as community, engagement, reciprocity, and trust. In practice, their approach takes the form of land-based commons, housing cooperatives, hybrid cultural spaces or places for innovation, and collaborative digital platforms. The purpose of this book, where observation of historical and recent practices converges with new theories within commons scholarship, is not to promote commons themselves. Rather, it examines the tensions, drivers of change, and opportunities that surround commons dynamics in Africa. This book highlights the abundance of commons-based entrepreneurial processes in Sub-Saharan Africa and shows that partnerships between African public authorities and communities involved in the commons can be powerful drivers of sustainable development for the continent.
Agri-Innovations and Development Challenges
Author: Vanessa CasadellaPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309157
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Innovation is a major challenge for economic development and social progress. Faced with the ecological and food problems that the world is currently experiencing, the legitimacy of innovation takes on its full meaning, particularly in developing countries. As emphasized by international organizations (UN, FAO), building skills and abilities in the agricultural and food sectors are necessary when launching innovation processes for the benefit of suffering populations. This book deals with different experiences launched in many developing countries in these sectors and shows how local initiatives can provide answers to the pessimism of experts and the media. Multidisciplinary analysis and practices explain how collective work creates value chains that can foster local and national economic development. The authors revisit the innovation agri-food models that contribute to economic development. Agri-Innovations and Development Challenges is composed of general presentations of innovations applied in developing countries, as well as specific studies on the joint valorization of knowledge and experience in agri-food engineering

La situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2021
Author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculturePublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251352003
Category : Political Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 202
Book Description
La pandémie de covid-19 a fait apparaître au grand jour la vulnérabilité des systèmes agroalimentaires face aux chocs et aux situations de stress et entraîné une augmentation de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la malnutrition au niveau mondial. Des mesures doivent être prises pour rendre les systèmes agroalimentaires plus résilients, plus efficients, plus durables et plus inclusifs. L’édition 2021 de La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture présente des indicateurs de la résilience des systèmes agroalimentaires au niveau des pays. Ces indicateurs permettent de mesurer la solidité de la production primaire et des disponibilités alimentaires et l’accès physique et économique à l’alimentation, et peuvent donc aider à évaluer la capacité des systèmes agroalimentaires d’absorber les chocs et les situations de stress, un aspect essentiel de la résilience. On trouvera dans le présent rapport une analyse des vulnérabilités des chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire et de la manière dont les ménages ruraux font face aux risques et aux chocs. On y examine les solutions qui peuvent être envisagées pour parvenir au meilleur équilibre possible entre le renforcement de la résilience, l’efficience et l’inclusivité. Le but du rapport est de donner des indications sur les politiques à suivre pour renforcer la résilience des chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire, soutenir les moyens d’existence au sein des systèmes agroalimentaires, et assurer de façon durable, même en cas de perturbation, l’accès de tous à une alimentation suffisante, sûre et nutritive.

The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021

Pages : 240
Book Description
In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation. To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world. In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
