Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

This book introduces the human right to adequate food and nutrition as evolving concept and identifies two structural disconnects fueling food insecurity for a billion people and disproportionally affecting women children and rural food producers: the separation of women’s rights from their right to adequate food and nutrition and the fragmented attention to food as commodity and the medicalization of nutritional health. Three conditions arising from these disconnects are discussed: structural violence and discrimination frustrating the realization of women’s human rights as well as their private and public contributions to food and nutrition security for all; many women’s experience of their and their children’s simultaneously independent and intertwined subjectivities during pregnancy and breastfeeding being poorly understood in human rights law and abused by poorly-regulated food and nutrition industry marketing practices; and the neoliberal economic system’s interference both with the autonomy and self-determination of women and their communities and with the strengthening of sustainable diets based on democratically governed local food systems. The book calls for a social movement-led reconceptualization of the right to adequate food toward incorporating gender women’s rights and nutrition based on the food sovereignty framework. | Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Food Sovereignty Agroecology and Biocultural Diversity Constructing and contesting knowledge

Food Sovereignty Agroecology and Biocultural Diversity Constructing and contesting knowledge

Contestations over knowledge – and who controls its production – are a key focus of social movements and other actors that promote food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity. This book critically examines the kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing needed for food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity. ‘Food sovereignty’ is understood here as a transformative process that seeks to recreate the democratic realm and regenerate a diversity of autonomous food systems based on agroecology biocultural diversity equity social justice and ecological sustainability. It is shown that alternatives to the current model of development require radically different knowledges and epistemologies from those on offer today in mainstream institutions (including universities policy think tanks and donor organizations). To achieve food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity there is a need to re-imagine and construct knowledge for diversity decentralisation dynamic adaptation and democracy. The authors critically explore the changes in organizations research paradigms and professional practice that could help transform and co-create knowledge for a new modernity based on plural definitions of wellbeing. Particular attention is given to institutional pedagogical and methodological innovations that can enhance cognitive justice by giving hitherto excluded citizens more power and agency in the construction of knowledge. The book thus contributes to the democratization of knowledge and power in the domain of food environment and society.

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

The majority of studies on the agricultural history of Japan have focused on the public administration of land and production and rice the principal source of revenue has received the most attention. However while this cereal has clearly played a decisive role in the public economy of the Japanese State it has not had a predominant place in agricultural production. Far from confining its scope to a study of rice growing for tax purposes this volume looks at the subsistence economy in the plant kingdom as a whole. This book examines the history of agriculture in premodern Japan from the 8th to the 17th century dealing with the history of agricultural techniques and food supply of rice wheat millet and other grains. Drawing extensively on material from history literature archaeology ethnography and botany it analyses each of the farming operations from sowing to harvesting and the customs pertaining to consumption. It also challenges the widespread theory that rice cultivation has been the basis of Japaneseness for two millennia and the foundation of Japanese civilization by focusing on the biodiversity and polycultural traditions of Japan. Further it will play a role in the current dialogue on the future of sustainable agricultural production from the viewpoints of ecology biodiversity dietary culture and food security throughout the world as traditional techniques such as crop rotation are explored in connection with the safeguarding of the minerals in the soil. Surveying agricultural techniques across the centuries and highlighting the dietary diversity of Japan this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history the history of science and technology medieval history cultural anthropology and agriculture. | Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

After a quarter century of almost general condemnation and rebuttal of the entire nationalization experience it appears that there are second thoughts about governmental direct intervention in the economy. Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise deals with a topic often undervalued in the past decade but which now with the crisis of 2008-2009 calls for greater attention: the direct intervention of the State as Entrepreneur. The collection of essays in this volume – prepared by some of the leading authorities in the field – offers a contribution to this debate by providing a balanced assessment of two of the most relevant experiences of mixed economies the United Kingdom and Italy. In this respect a comparison between these two countries is very much appropriate since in both nations the State played an important role as Entrepreneur starting in the early 20th century. In Great Britain and Italy the heyday of the State as Entrepreneur was in the years right after WWII when it was used as a tool for promoting a modern society in which citizens acquired a stronger sense of belonging to their nations. The UK and Italy saw the State take on a too-pervasive role in the 70s; the two nations responded in different ways. In the 1980s Great Britain embarked on a harsh process of privatizations while Italians struggled on until finally submitting to privatizations in their nation in the following decade. The deep crisis of the final years of the 21st century forced both nations to reconsider State interventions as an appropriate tool in order to protect the wellbeing of the national economy. | Reappraising State-Owned Enterprise A Comparison of the UK and Italy

Developing Age-Friendly Communities in the UK Re-creating Places and Spaces

Developing Age-Friendly Communities in the UK Re-creating Places and Spaces

The ageing population is a global societal issue. Policymakers planners and the public third and private sectors must rethink how the built environment and services are delivered to meet the needs of a changing demographic. This is the first book to systematically review the evolution development and progress of age-friendly thinking in the UK with a primary focus on the real-world experiences of the people leading place-based initiatives. The book presents the findings of the first in-depth national study of age-friendly programme leaders in the UK completed in 2021 and provides insights into the development of age-friendly communities the formative influences from a social policy perspective the management challenges and the progress towards achieving age-friendly goals. Using primary interview data and narrative analysis the experiences of working with age-friendly programmes in different organisational forms are explored. The book promotes a greater understanding of what it means to become an age-friendly community in practice how the programmes have different development pathways and what influences different outcomes. Embellished with detailed narratives from practitioners informative tables and diagrams and figures throughout the book carefully gathers the voices of a diverse range of decision-makers and leaders associated with the age-friendly movement and provides unique insights on the drivers of change in specific localities. This is a must-read for anyone involved in ageing research or ageing policy and practice as it provides an insightful look into the real world of embedding this community development model in different localities to make a difference to the lives of older people. Topical themes include how these agendas connect with other issues such as dementia-friendly programmes and the work of the third sector as well as the growing challenge of what it means to be ‘friendly’ as a community and place and whether ‘friendly’ is becoming an over-used term in relation to place identity. The book has national and global interest for all communities engaged in age-friendly activity offering exemplars of best practice achievements in transforming local communities and views on the meaning of ageing as well as the age-friendly lens as an approach that champions the world through the eyes of older people. It offers a thought-provoking read for anyone with an interest in this expanding area of ageing irrespective of disciplinary focus. | Developing Age-Friendly Communities in the UK Re-creating Places and Spaces

Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam

Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam

This title was first published in 2003. Nurul Islam currently head of economic and social policy at the FAO/UN and a key advisor at the International Food Policy Research Institute has been a renowned expert on economic development for the past thirty years. Over that time he has researched and written about a wide range of economic development issues focussing mainly on policy. For the first time ever his most important writings have been brought together in this volume reflecting not only Professor Islam’s own views on particular issues but also providing a unique overview of the key debates and discussions taking place among academic economist and policy analysts over the past three decades. The collection is divided into three main sections: trade and aid development strategy and food security the section on food security being the most recent. It discusses food security in a broad sense covering issues of availability and growth in food production access or entitlement of individuals or households to basic food and variability in food supplies and prices. In the section on Development Strategy Professor Islam highlights how theoretical argument has veered away from organized ’development planning’ models which proved so important in the 1960s. He questions the role of models and policies throughout the decades and following articles written in the 1970s or 80s he includes articles he has recently completed assessing the previous ones from his current perspective. In the final section on Trade and Aid he follows the academic debate on trade and exchange rate policies in developing countries from the 1960s to the progress of the WTO forums of today. This is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking volume. No matter whether the subject in question was examined in the 1960s or currently Professor Islam provides a challenging and insightful analysis and even the earliest articles retain relevance and will be of continuing interest. | Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam
