    Policy Papers & Briefs
    January, 2016
    Uruguay, Central America, South America

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects
    an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture
    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve
    food security and broader development goals under a
    changing climate and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives
    sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, and
    reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs), and require
    planning to address tradeoffs and synergies between these
    three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation [1].

    Degraded lands—lands that have lost some degree of their natural productivity through human activity—account for over 20 percent of forest and agricultural lands in Latin America and the Caribbean. Some 300 million hectares of the region’s forests are considered degraded, and about 350 million hectares are now classified as deforested. The agriculture and forestry sectors are growing and exerting great pressure on natural areas. With the region expected to play an increasingly important role in global food security, this pressure will continue to ratchet up.

    A large number of governance interventions are being developed in order to reduce deforestation and enhance the sustainability of commodity

    supply chains across the tropics. The extent to which individual agricultural commodity supply chain interventions can achieve scale, and

    environmental or social objectives, depends in part on the ways in which those interventions interact with other interventions. We use a casestudy

    of the new Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) cattle certification program in Brazil to explore the different ways in which governance

    Women’s land rights are increasingly advocated as an empowerment tool to spur development outcomes. However, empirical evidence of this relationship is limited. In this study we use data from peasant communities in rural Peru to explore the effect of the intra-household allocation of inherited land on women’s empowerment. Empowerment is modeled as a latent variable measured by different influence indicators using a Generalized Structural Equation approach.
