Gender, assets, and agricultural development programs

Being able to access, control, and own productive assets such as land, labor, finance, and social capital enables people to create stable and productive lives. Yet relatively little is known about how agricultural development programs can most effectively deliver these outcomes of well-being, empowerment, and higher income in a way that acknowledges differential access to and control over assets by men and women.

review of agricultural interventions that aim to improve nutritional status of children

This report is a systematic review of the impact of potential „win-win‟ agricultural interventions that aim to improve children‟s nutritional status by improving the incomes and the diet of the rural poor. 

It builds on and expands previous reviews by covering the period 1990-2010 and finds results similar to those of previous reviews, but attributes the lack of impact of agricultural interventions on child nutrition to methodological weaknesses of the studies reviewed rather than to specific characteristics of these interventions.
