The Logic of Poverty
Author: Simon MitchellPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040026303
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
First published in 1981, The Logic of Poverty consists of eight essays that share at least one assumption: that Northeast Brazil provides a startling example of inhumane economic development. The contributors have all worked in the area, and know it at first hand. They look at rural structure and the role of the unemployed ‘reserve army’, the state of the sugar industry, the ineffectiveness of the irrigation schemes, the stagnation in the fishing sector, the lack of credit available to peasants and the role of SUDENE, the first development agency in the region. Together they paint a picture of poverty and of the factors that allow it to continue, and they place that poverty in the context of the wider economy of Brazil, relating it to the extraordinary transformation that has been called ‘the Brazilian miracle’. This book will be of interest to students of geography, anthropology, economics and sociology.

An Economic Analysis of Cassava Flour and Its Effect on Nutrition

Category : Cassava

Book Description
Abstract: An economic analysis of the alternative uses of cassava flour as a nutritional intervention strategy is presented. The major nutritional problem in the state of Ceara, Brazil, is inadequate calorie availability. Food consumption and nutrient intake in Ceara was analyzed systematically; results were collected in a Household Consumption Survey. Four meals per day are the usual meal pattern in Brazil; the main meals, served at noon and at dinner, almost always include some form of cassava flour as a major component among low-income families. This is especially true in Ceara. Fortifying cassava flour in Ceara is not feasible; because of the number of resources needed to solve the calorie deficit, the effect would be insignificant. The long-run solution for undernutrition in Ceara appears to be nutrition intervention which will maximize nutrition status.
