    A narrative on rural youth in Africa has continued to evolve in policy circles around the world. Much of it is driven by population statistics that point to an imminent youth bulge in Africa and concerns about a poor economic outlook (stagnation) for African productivity and growth. Fears of massive unemployment, social unrest and undesirable migration due to limited economic growth drive the bulk of the discourse. This is juxtaposed with the promise of a youth dividend for the continent, which is highlighted by some quarters of the policy debate.

    Reports & Research
    February, 2019
    Global

    Growing numbers of policies and programmes aim to integrate small-scale rural producers into agricultural value chains. But significant questions remain over how best to: recognise the possibly divergent visions, interests and constraints of various actors; address often substantial power imbalances; and ultimately promote agency among rural producers and their communities – that is, their ability to choose, act and influence realities around them.

    South America, Brazil
    Neste ensaio defendemos que a agroecologia pode ser considerada um processo de recampesinização contemporâneo, se analisada a partir das suas premissas básicas de integração aos processos cooperativos de produção aliados ao manejo ecológico da terra. Desta forma, o agroecossistema assume lugar central que visa integrar a sustentabilidade na produção agrícola promovendo um contraponto à crescente crise agroambiental. Esta aproximação é situada no contexto das abordagens territoriais, como forma de garantir a autonomia e identidade local.

    La pobreza y el hambre en el Ecuador tienen su escenario en la zona rural, pero sobretodo en los hogares agrarios. La falta de acceso a recursos productivos, en especial la tierra, es uno de los factores más influyentes de la pobreza y el hambre, de acuerdo al enfoque de soberanía alimentaria.

    ...This study will examine the food (rice) availability at the national level using the official and FAO data. Second, a case study in the rice deficit region (Dry Zone) will present the characteristics and food security status of the farm and non-farm rural households (landless) and the determinants of food security. The Dry Zone was chosen to study because the EC & FAO (2007) classified this region as the most vulnerable area of the country. Furthermore, the FAO projected that the Net Primary Production would be decreased significantly in the Dry Zone in the next two decades.

    Myanmar

    Abstract:
    "This paper looks at the case of Myanmar in order to investigate the behavior and welfare of
    rural households in an economy under transition from a planned to a market system. Myanmar's
    case is particularly interesting because of the country's unique attempt to preserve a policy of
    intervention in land transactions and marketing institutions. A sample household survey that we
    conducted in 2001, covering more than 500 households in eight villages with diverse
