Measuring the food access dimension of food security: A critical review and mapping of indicators por Leroy, Jef L., Ruel, Marie T., Frongillo, Edward A., Harris, Jody, Ballard, Terri J.

“…Household Dietary Diversity (HDDS) and Food Consumption Score (FCS) are often considered indicators of both quantity and quality, but they have not been validated for the latter.We recommend the use of experience-based indicators, HDDS, or FCS to assess household access to energy; experience-based indicators to assess household access to diet quality (defined qualitatively as not having to adopt practices that favor acquiring cheaper, less appealing, and less micronutrient-dense foods); and individual dietary diversity scores for women or children to assess individual access to diet quality, defined as micronutrient adequacy.…”

Mechanization in Ghana: Emerging demand, and the search for alternative supply models por Diao, Xinshen, Cossar, Frances, Houssou, Nazaire, Kolavalli, Shashidhara

“…Through applying the theories of farming systems evolution and of induced innovation in technical change, this paper shows that demand for certain mechanized farming operations particularly plowing has emerged even among smallholders, suggesting that supply issues may now be the main constraint to successful mechanization. We therefore adopt a supply chain approach to analyze two types of mechanization practices in Ghana, i.e., a recent state-led mechanization program and the private sector-led service hiring market, against an international perspective by drawing on three Asian supply models. …”

An Intersectional Approach to Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) por Tavenner, Katie, Crane, Todd A., Bullock, Renee, Galiè, Alessandra, Campos, Hugo, Katothya, Gerald

“…Within agricultural research for development (AR4D), intersectional approaches are relatively novel compared to traditional gender and social analyses, and to date there are limited tools and empirical studies in AR4D that have adopted such an approach. Without a strong conceptual and methodological foundation, future intersectional approaches in AR4D risk treating multiple identities as standalone “tick box” variables, and not as a holistic way of understanding and addressing these multiple sources of marginalization. …”
