The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is host to some of the most difficult environments in the world, either because of altitude, climate, or topography, or because of huge inequalities in the distribution of land (the bottom 60 percent of landowners--those with the smallest landholdings--own only 4 percent of all land in the region), as well as striking income inequality in spite of economic growth as shown in Figure 1 (with an average Gini index score of 53.29 as compared to Asia and Eastern Europe, whose scores of 41.8 and 32.8, respectively, indicate far less income inequality). On the other hand, the LAC region provides researchers and policymakers with significant opportunities to learn from the successful structural reforms that most of the LAC countries have undertaken during the late 1980s and early 1990s. During these decades most Latin American countries went through significant reforms: they controlled inflation, sold off state enterprises, lowered tariffs, opened capital markets, reformed tax systems, deregulated financial markets, and lowered government deficits. Latin America's increased economic openness has gone hand in hand with large financial inflows--particularly in the first half of the 1990s--and has brought new sources of economic growth. As a result, economies grew, inflation declined, and there was a big surge in foreign capital inflows. Although overall growth slowed after 1995, the region has experienced strong growth in the past five years, the best sustained performance since the 1970s. With the exception of a handful of countries, this growth has been accompanied by relatively modest inflation. Despite these positive results, virtually all Latin American countries share certain problems: uneven economic growth, unacceptably high poverty and malnutrition rates, and lagging agricultural growth. More than 60 percent of the region's poor live in rural areas, where slow economic growth, unequal distribution of assets, inadequate public investment and public services, and vulnerability to natural and economic shocks are major policy issues resulting in severe poverty traps. The food price crisis of 2007-08 and the financial crises of 2009 exacerbated these problems. Although the region is fairly immune to external shocks--due to its higher foreign exchange liquidity; decreased public-sector and external borrowing needs; exchange rate flexibility; lower exposure to currency, interest rate, and rollover risks in public-sector debt portfolios; and more access to local currency loans--the food price and financial crises affected all the LAC countries in terms of inflation, especially food inflation, and in terms of credit constraints, specifically those related to trade costs. The impact was greatest on net importing countries (specifically, Central America and Mexico), and also on poor consumers in peri urban and rural areas. Before the crisis, most Latin American countries were on track to reach the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015; now, a significant number of countries will not be able to accomplish this goal. Furthermore, inflationary pressures will reappear and persist in coming years.

The contributors to this collection examine the progress and impact of the 'new poverty strategies' which have governed the policies of development agencies over the past decade. While in some areas progress has been impressive, in others it has been hampered by persisting inequalities, civil conflict, institutional gaps and turbulence in the international financial system. In light of this, The New Poverty Strategies proposes a range of new policies and donor initiatives designed to achieve greater success in poverty reduction in the new century.

Over the past decade, interest in gender equality and women’s empowerment has grown rapidly, creating a unique opportunity to institutionalize gender research within agricultural research for development. This book, edited by researchers from the CGIAR Gender Platform, reviews and reflects on the growing body of evidence from gender research. It marks a shift a way from a traditional focus on how gender analysis can contribute to improved productivity, flipping the question to ask, How does agricultural and environmental research and development contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment? Chapters synthesize the wide range of CGIAR and other research in this area, covering breeding research and seed systems, value chain participation, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, natural resources, climate adaptation and mitigation, the “feminization” of agriculture, women’s role in agricultural research, and emerging gender transformative approaches.

The armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan entered its sixth month since it erupted on April 15th, 2023, with no signs of ending soon. The war has caused severe humanitarian catastrophe, destroyed key infrastructure, and constrained trade and production activities. Moreover, it disrupted access to public utilities, financial services, and markets, hence, triggering considerable scarcity of goods and services. In this paper, we utilize a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) Multiplier modeling framework to assess the economywide implications of these disruptions of economic activity, productive resources, and livelihoods. Results reveal that the economy would shrink to nearly half its size before the war, household incomes decline by more than 40 percent in urban and rural areas, and the number of poor people increase by 1.8 million if the war continues until the end of the year. The impact would have been two thirds less should the war have ended before July 2023 and would be one third less if it would end before October 2023. This study therefore calls for rapid interventions from all relevant parties to help reach an end to the fighting.

The Future Rice Strategy for India presents forward-looking insights toward achieving sustainable development of the rice sector, ensuring future food and nutritional security. As a staple food for many in India, including the economically disadvantaged, there are many concerns that affect the development of rice sector. Facing issues from environmental demands to economic stagnation, access to food, food inflation, and the Food Security Act (demand – supply – distribution of rice) achieving sustainability in production and exports is an important and urgent challenge. Using case studies to illustrate existing and potential issues, challenges and solutions, The Future Rice Strategy for India presents key strategic options while considering the implicit consequences. In addition, the findings enrich the strategy and policy formulation considerations for the role of rice in the country. This multidisciplinary approach features the expertise of rice scientists covering different aspects of rice sector; from breeding to consumer preferences and markets and trade. Uses analysis based on agro ecological zones (AEZ) patterns providing understanding of future growth patterns based on rice ecologies Includes case studies with proposed solutions taking into consideration pros and cons of each, allowing readers facing similar concerns and issues to identify an appropriate solution more efficiently and effectively

This study assesses how agri-food processing enterprises have been affected during the first 3 months of the on-going conflict in Sudan between the Sudan Armed Force (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The food processing and beverage manufacturing sector plays a significant role as a source of food, employment, and value addition in Sudan. Thus, the ensuing conflict will have both direct and indirect negative consequences to livelihoods and food security. We collected data from representatives of food processing and beverage manufacturing companies throughout Sudan via web-based interviews. The findings highlight the immediate implications of the conflict on the agri-food processing and manufacturing sector. The impact of the conflict has immediately extended beyond direct destruction of the infrastructure and equipment of the firms to cause serious negative employment effects. Furthermore, it led to a growing scarcity of the key material inputs/raw materials and an associated spike in the price of these key ingredients to the production processes. We discuss the implications of these findings vis-à-vis the fluid nature of the continuing conflict and propose some options in preparations to rebuilding the agri-food enterprises once the cessation of hostilities and the end of conflict is achieved.
