How the War between Russia and Ukraine Might Affect Your Dinner in Latin America and the Caribbean

April 29, 2022 por Gonzalo Rondinone - Carmine Paolo De Salvo - Lina Salazar - Gonzalo Muñoz Leave a Comment

Agricultural commodity prices have been very volatile since the early 2000s, peaking in 2008, then declining sharply until 2010 before starting to rise again (i). In 2012, prices reached a new peak caused by a historic drought in the United States, but then remained low over 2015–2019, a period that also saw a restocking of inventories of soybean, wheat, and corn. In stark … [Read more...] about How the War between Russia and Ukraine Might Affect Your Dinner in Latin America and the Caribbean

What Is the Role of Women in Food Security?

October 2, 2017 por Carmen del Rio - Lina Salazar Leave a Comment

“If women in rural areas had the same access to productive activities as men, agricultural and farming production would increase and we could feed approximately 150 million more people.” (FAO, 2011). This demonstrates that the role of women is key in agricultural production and in food security. Women are the primary farmers and producers in a large part of the world; … [Read more...] about What Is the Role of Women in Food Security?
