Balancing the trade-offs between land productivity, labor productivity and labor intensity
Agricultural intensification, through increased yields, and raising incomes, through enhanced labor productivity, are two dimensions prioritized for sustainable agricultural development. Prioritizing these two outcomes leaves labor intensity as a hidden adjustment variable. Yet, when agriculture is mainstay and the prospects of labor absorption in other sectors are scarce, the density of agricultural employment is central for livelihoods. We revi…
Viewpoint: Rigorous monitoring is necessary to guide food system transformation in the countdown to the 2030 global goals
Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress in eradicating poverty and malnutrition; protecting human rights; and restoring natural resources. Food system activities have contributed to great gains for humanity but have also led to significant challenges, including hunger, poor diet quality, inequity, and threats to nature. While it is recognized that food systems are central t…
Improving data on food losses and waste: From theory to practice
The impact of survey characteristics on the measurement of food consumption
Food security and sustainability: Can one exist without the other
Objective To position the concept of sustainability within the context of food security. Design An overview of the interrelationships between food security and sustainability based on a non-systematic literature review and informed discussions based principally on a quasi-historical approach from meetings and reports. Setting International and global food security and nutrition. Results The Rome Declaration on World Food Security in 1996 defined …
Risk management and finance along value chains of Small Island Developing States. Evidence from the Caribbean and the Pacific
What is the cost of a healthy diet in terms of achieving RDAs
Objective Assessing how the Italian average food pattern would be affected in terms of consumption structure and expenditure by the adoption of nutritional prescriptions. Design A linear programming model with nutritional and food habits constraints was employed to generate a pattern following recommended daily allowances (RDAs) and nutritional guidelines provided for the Italian population. Setting Food consumption data from ISTAT Household Budg…
