Agricultural Value Chain Development Projects and Household Nutrition in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Côte d'Ivoire
Many mainstream development actors and scholars concerned about rural poverty and hunger in Africa recommend integrating smallholder farmers, especially women, into formally structured agricultural value chains (AVCs). This influential approach rests on the assumption that productivity-enhancing technologies and stronger market linkages will raise farmer incomes, and in turn improve food and nutrition security (FNS) in farmer households via incre…
Introduction
This special issue had its origins in the spring and summer of 2020, a moment in which the stakes of food, gender and sovereignty were particularly visible. Pandemic-related shortages, shutdowns of restaurants, marketplaces and stores and sudden food insecurity for millions of people – all inescapably changed the daily experience of eating and provisioning. To get by, people created new networks to bypass the systems they had counted on in the pa…
"Serving "the Uses of Life
Gengenbach, Comé, and Nhabinde historicize women's responses to an agricultural "value chain" in Zavala, Mozambique. Inspired by the Green Revolution for Africa (GR4A), the initiative aims to reduce hunger by converting cassava to industrial use for SABMiller's Impala beer. Women chafed at the proposed remaking of an agrarian foodway long anchored by this edible commodity. Cassava's inseparable dietary and market value in precolonial times intens…
Food security and the contested visions of agrarian change in Africa
African countries are subject to competing visions of agricultural development. Efforts to “scale up” technocratic, market-based approaches focus on productivist indices (yields, income) rather than food access. Alternatives advocate agro-ecological practices, re-adoption of indigenous crops and state investment in agricultural extension. We introduce here six case studies on these contested visions from Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo…
From cradle to chain? Gendered struggles for cassava commercialisation in Mozambique
This article draws on survey data, interviews and archival research to analyse women's mixed responses to a cassava commercialisation scheme in Zavala district, Mozambique. As an example of the “Green Revolution for Africa” (GR4A) approach to development, which holds that women farmers’ participation in “value chains” will reduce rural poverty and hunger, this initiative seeks to transform cassava from a food staple into raw material for cassava-…
Limits of the New Green Revolution for Africa
In order to address food insecurity, the New Green Revolution for Africa (GR4A) promotes tighter integration of African smallholder farmers, especially women, into formal markets via value chains to improve farmers' input access and to encourage the sale of crop surpluses. This commentary offers a theoretical and practical critique of the GR4A model, drawing on early findings from a five-year study of value chain initiatives in Burkina Faso, Côte…

I'll bury you in the border
As in many other areas of post‐war Mozambique, the locality of Facazisse (in Magude District, Maputo Province) has experienced numerous forms of land conflict in the process of rural resettlement. The most serious tensions have emerged predominantly among female farmers, and surround the fairness of methods of land allocation, resentment of displaced people who refuse to give up borrowed land, and disputes over the proper location of boundaries b…
