Thirty-five years after Farmer First
Thirty-five years ago, the Farmer First movement presented a new paradigm for agricultural R&D, making the case for a more prominent role for farmers in the design, development, and dissemination of agricultural technologies and practices. Since then, a diverse range of projects have been implemented with explicit attention to the engagement and participation of farmers and farmer-based organizations. After nearly four decades, it is worth reflec…
Inuit birthing in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut
Many Indigenous People in Northern and remote areas need to travel away from home for childbirth; however, their birthing traditions and practices are intimately tied to place. This qualitative research study characterized Inuit childbirth experiences and recommendations to enhance birthing supports in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut in Inuit Nunangat, Canada. Birthing experiences were profoundly shaped by relationships and place attachment, an…
How long-term emancipatory programming facilitates participatory evaluation
Empowerment and participation are promoted as critical factors in meaningful development processes; however, action-oriented researchers face challenges in fostering genuine empowerment and meaningful participation within traditional funding cycles and research timelines. This case study illustrates a participatory methodology employed by researchers in partnership with one Honduran non-governmental organization (NGO) to conduct ‘practical’ parti…
This Helps You See Life Differently’
Youth in rural Honduras experience barriers to accessing education, vocational training, and social supports for their formative development. This study evaluated over 18 years of youth-specific development interventions implemented by a Honduran organization in two rural municipalities. The study draws on 94 semi-structured interviews and demographic data from 1596 program participants. Three impact pathways were identified through which respond…
Sewing Is Part of Our Tradition
In this article, we present a case study of sewing as a strategy for arts-based inquiry in health research, situated within a broader project that highlighted Nunavut Inuit women's childbirth experiences. Five focus groups were hosted as sewing sessions with pregnant women ( N = 19) in Iqaluit, Nunavut (2017-2018). Women's reflections on the sessions, and the significance of sewing to Inuit, were integrated with researchers' critical reflections …
Interrogating the dimensions of human security within the context of migration and rural livelihoods in Honduras
Security concerns, including poverty and violence, are viewed as critical factors in understanding the drivers of and experiences with internal and international migration from Honduras. Drawing on a broad definition of human security that encompasses ‘freedom from fear’ and ‘freedom from want’, in addition to insights from critical and feminist security studies, we interrogate different dimensions of human security for rural households from one …
Factors Associated with Seasonal Food Insecurity among Small-Scale Subsistence Farming Households in Rural Honduras
In the context of climate change, a nutritional transition, and increased pressures to migrate internally and internationally, this study examined the relationship between seasonal food insecurity and demographic, socioeconomic, and agricultural production factors among small-scale subsistence farmers in rural northern Honduras. Anchored by a partnership with the Fundación para la Investigación Participativa con Agricultores de Honduras (FIPAH) a…
Socio-demographic patterning of the individual-level double burden of malnutrition in a rural population in South India
This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with individual-level double burden of malnutrition. Women in rural regions of India may be particularly vulnerable to individual-level double burden of malnutrition and should be a target population for any nutrition interventions to address simultaneous over- and undernutrition

Determinants of internal migrant health and the healthy migrant effect in South India
BACKGROUND: Internal labour migration is an important and necessary livelihood strategy for millions of individuals and households in India. However, the precarious position of migrant workers within Indian society may have consequences for the health of these individuals. Previous research on the connections between health and labour mobility within India have primarily focused on the negative health outcomes associated with this practice. Thus,…
The Relationship Between MGNREGA and Internal Labour Migration in Tamil Nadu, India
The internal migration-development nexus
This study examines the extent to which the internal migration-development nexus is operational in four panchayats or village councils in northwest Tamil Nadu. We investigate who participates in labor migration in this context and explore the experiences of and outcomes from labor migration for migrant workers and their households. In addition, we examine the motivations for migration among migrant households and the barriers to migration among n…
Decoding the Type 2 Diabetes Epidemic in Rural India
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an escalating public health problem in India, associated with genetic susceptibility, dietary shift, and rapid lifestyle changes. Historically a disease of the urban elite, quantitative studies have recently confirmed rising prevalence rates among marginalized populations in rural India. To analyze the role of cultural and sociopolitical factors in diabetes onset and management, we employed in-depth interviews and focu…

Agricultural Diversification In Yucatan's Henequen Zone
Based on field research carried out in Mexico's Yucatán henequen zone, this article highlights the potential for peasant diversification initiatives in rural development. The findings reveal a sharp contrast between the inertia of the state managed henequen sector, on the one hand, and the dynamism of peasant vegetable production, on the other. Government subsidies, increased wages and re-organization have failed to halt the sharp decline in prod…
