Women’s Greater Participation in Agriculture
Several aspects of rural transformation in LMICs call for greater participation by women in agriculture. However, empirical evidence does not show a clear link between greater participation by women in agriculture and improved nutritional status. This paper examines two key nutrition impact pathways – changes in energy demands and time-use patterns due to increased participation in agriculture. The study is based on data collected from rural agri…
Sharing work and food within the household
In the context of the ongoing rural transformation in many countries, women’s opportunities for economic participation are expanding. However, there is limited understanding of how policy interventions can support rural households to adapt to the increasing opportunity cost of women’s time in household activities. This article presents empirical evidence on the relationship between couple interdependencies in time use and nutritional outcomes in …
Conceptualising food environments as social activity spaces
The study of food environments helps the understanding of food and nutrition insecurity, but its static, quantitative and physical focus requires complementary research through people's "lived experiences." Through exploratory qualitative and participatory research, we aimed to capture communities' views of food environments, how they navigate these spaces, and what constitutes inequitable exclusion therein. We conducted participatory mapping and…
Quantity and quality of physical activity during adolescence
Adolescence is a unique transitional stage of physical and psychological development. As preferences and behavioural choices adopted in adolescence influence lifelong physical activity habits and health outcomes in adulthood, rural transformation in low- and middle-income countries has the potential to significantly change traditional roles and shape the next generation. By using a mixed-method approach that integrates energy expenditure estimate…
Verifying the Relevance of a Vulnerability to Food Insecurity Index in Practice for Households in South Nigeria
This paper examined the relevance of the Vulnerability to Food Insecurity Index (VFII) in practice for households in South-South region of Nigeria. The main objectives were to verify the result of the VFII with real life experience and to understand why households are vulnerable to food insecurity using qualitative insight. The paper applied both quantitative and qualitative methods. The main findings reveal that the indictors of the index were a…
Blunting EU Regulation 1107/2009
This paper explores the role of regulation and legislation on influencing the development and diffusion of technologies and methods of crop production. To do this, the change in pesticide registration under European Regulation 1107/2009 ‘Placing Plant Protection Products on the Market’ was followed through the UK’s agricultural system of innovation. Fieldwork included: a series of interviews conducted with scientists, agronomists and industry org…
Gender, time-use, and energy expenditures in rural communities in India and Nepal
Women’s patterns of time-use, which proxy the work burdens associated with productive and reproductive activities, are an important determinant of nutrition and well-being in LMICs. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on how patterns of time-use translate into patterns of physical activity and energy expenditure, particularly in rural areas where seasonal agricultural labour plays such an important role. We address this gap by integrat…
Drudgery reduction, physical activity and energy requirements in rural livelihoods
Advancing a new index for measuring household vulnerability to food insecurity
Adherence to WHO’s nutrition recommendations in the UK
Information Sources, ICTs and Price Information in Rural Agricultural Markets
Can adherence to dietary guidelines address excess caloric intake? An empirical assessment for the UK
Rural-urban disparities in child nutrition in Bangladesh and Nepal
Public health interventions aimed at overcoming rural-urban disparities in child nutrition outcomes need to focus principally on bridging gaps in socio-economic endowments of rural and urban households and improving the quality of rural infrastructure. Improving child nutrition outcomes in developing countries does not call for fundamentally different approaches to public health interventions in rural and urban areas
An assessment of the potential consumption impacts of WHO dietary norms in OECD countries
Concentration in ownership of plant variety rights
