Livelihood implications of dietary shifts to animal-source food alternatives
Although dietary shifts from animal-source foods (ASFs) to alternatives (Alt-ASFs) could considerably affect livelihoods in food supply chains, the effects will likely vary by the type of Alt-ASFs. In this Review we identified 45 studies, including descriptive analysis of the present state of the sector and modelling studies of future trends. Key findings indicate that cell-based foods would likely reduce overall employment opportunities, while f…
A new estimate for global and country-level employment in agrifood systems
Globally, 1.29B people worked in agrifood systems in 2021: 868M in agriculture, 418M in non-agriculture AFS. • AFS jobs dominate Africa (64%) and Asia (42%), with agriculture accounting for 48% and 29%, respectively. • Overall, 3.78B people live in households reliant on agrifood system-based livelihoods. • New dataset covers 184 countries (99% of population) and includes a balanced panel of 149 countries from 2000–2021. Global and national policy…
Enhancing agency and empowerment in agricultural development projects
Development interventions increasingly include women's empowerment and gender equality among their objectives, but evaluating their impact has been stymied by the lack of measures that are comparable across interventions. This paper synthesizes the findings of 11 mixed-methods impact evaluations of agricultural development projects from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that were part of the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project, Phase 2 (GAAP2…
Does a joint United Nations microfinance ‘plus’ program empower female farmers in rural Ethiopia? Evidence using the pro-Weai
Microfinance is thought to be an effective tool for empowering women. Yet, previous studies that evaluate microfinance programs have mixed findings. This is in part because there are large variations in the interventions that are evaluated, but also that there is not a standardized metric of empowerment that is implemented consistently throughout the literature. This study investigates the effectiveness of a joint United Nations program aimed at …
