Analysis of food system drivers of deforestation highlights foreign direct investments and urbanization as threats to tropical forests por Sylvester, Janelle M., Gutierrez Zapata, Diana Maria, Perez Marulanda, Lisset, Vanegas Cubillos, Martha, Bruun, Thilde Bech, Mertz, Ole, Castro-Nunez, Augusto

“…Our models explained a substantial portion of deforestation variability globally (R2 = 0.74) and in Asia (R2 = 0.81) and Latin America (R2 = 0.73). The results indicate that trade- and demand-side dynamics, specifically foreign direct investments and urban population growth, play key roles in influencing deforestation trends at these scales, suggesting that food system-based interventions could be effective in mitigating deforestation. …”

A social analysis of the Red de Protección Social (RPS) in Nicaragua por Adato, Michelle, Roopnaraine, Terry, Álvarez, Fabiola Alvarado, Peña, Leticia Böttel, Castrillo, Gladys Meléndez

“…The Government of Nicaragua‘s program Red de Protección Social (RPS) represents a new approach to providing safety nets for the poorest people in society, a conditional cash-transfer program that has become an important part of poverty alleviation strategy in several countries in Latin America and elsewhere in the world. What is so important about CCTs is that first, they take a systematic approach to assuring a basic income safety net for the poor, rather than relying on more diffuse, indirect process of poverty reduction, e.g. through demand-driven infrastructure programs; and second, they aim to do more than just put short-term cash in people‘s hands—important as this aspect of safety nets is—but also to invest in the long-term human capital of future generations. …”
