Human nutrition is vital for agriculture. Many smallholder farmers are food-insecure and suffer chronic or acute forms of malnutrition. This can permanently harm the physical and cognitive growth of children, while reducing productivity as household members are less able to carry out agricultural work.
Agriculture is vital for human nutrition. Nutrition has long been considered mostly a health issue. However, agriculture plays an essential role in ensuring nutritional wellbeing not only for rural populations, but also for society as a whole.
Beyond producing food in sufficient quantity, agri-food systems should also:
To this end, we must build the capacities of farmers, agriculture extensionists, consumers and others, encourage innovation, investments and enabling policies, and address gender issues. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) uses a food-based approach to agricultural development to make the global food system produce better nutritional outcomes.

The European Rural Development Network (ERDN) dates back to 2002. It was established to integrate the efforts and competences of various European research institutions in their joint works on the state and paths of transformation of rural areas, in particular farming, with the view to extension of the EU and its future policies. Thus, the main objectives of the ERDN are parallel to the Community’s idea of building the European Research Area for agriculture and rural development. The Network is meant to encompass the leading research centres studying rural development in Europe, and in particular in its central, eastern and south-eastern countries. The Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute (IAFE-NRI), Warsaw, Poland, is responsible for coordination of its activity.
The involvement of institutions, but mostly all of its individual members, makes it – apart from a research network – a forum for knowledge and information exchange based on mutual friendship, trust and goodwill. This decides on the unique character of the ERDN, where informal ties (social capital) and commitment of a group of people from various countries is the value added of the strictly scientific work. It is our achievement that we are proud of. Simultaneously, each new member of the Network is happily welcomed and quickly finds his or her place and inspiration for research work.
One of the main features of rural development is its complexity. Observations and analyses of the situation in rural areas should be carried out based on different scientific points of view which will help to determine the vision for the future.
The main objectives of the ERDN are:
The efforts of the Network’s members in investigation of rural processes provide extensive information needed to understand the specificity of rural development in CEE, especially in the context of the EU policy reforms and enlargements. Different scientific backgrounds, international origin of the ERDN experts and over a decade of successful cooperation help to prepare complex and interdisciplinary solutions for research and policy making. The members of the Network are representing the leading universities and research institutes in Central-Eastern Europe.
The Network takes efforts aimed at common elaboration of research topics in the fields strategic for rural development and wining new institutional partners. The cooperation involves exchange of publications, statistical data, joint initiatives to raise funds from the EU Framework Programmes and other entities (such as: the International Visegrad Fund, the EEA and Norway grants and national programs), exchange of scientists and numerous meetings during seminars, conferences and scientific workshops.

Preserving land for local, agroecological farming is a growing issue in many parts of Europe. The amount of agricultural land is declining, as a result of urban and infrastructure development. Competition for land use is also growing, between farmers food production and other uses (timber, biofuels, fibres). As a result, farmland is ever more concentrated on large, intensive farms while small farms are disappearing. This is despite the fact that small farms are the cornerstone of European food security and key to maintaining a living countryside. They also , remain best placed to provide quality local food and preserve the environment. At the same time, the retirement of an ageing population of farmers, and increasing difficulties finding new entrants to replace them, may result in further abandonment of rural areas. The Access to land network brings together grassroots organisations from across Europe to share experiences and promote the significance of access to land for agroecological transition and generational renewal. Established in 2012, it functions as an informal network of about 15 organisations.

Edward Elgar Publishing is a leading international academic and professional publisher with a strong focus on the social sciences and legal fields. We publish 350 titles annually and have successfully created a prestigious list of over 5,500 titles. The company was founded by our current Chairman, Edward Elgar, and remains a family business. Edward's original vision was to create a publishing house that attracted high quality books by offering a superior service to authors and we remain focused on treating potential authors and their books with care and attention to detail. We believe it is difficult for large corporate publishers who often suffer from very high levels of staff turnover, top down management and mass production processes to replicate the experience we can provide. Edward Elgar Publishing was conceived as an international scholarly press and from the beginning our sales were derived equally from Europe, North America and Asia Pacific regions, reflecting our author base and focus on topics of global interest. Today the Middle East, Latin America and a number of African countries are also important markets.
Assisting 80 million people in around 80 countries each year, the World Food Programme (WFP) is one of the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. As the international community has committed to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition by 2030, one in nine people worldwide still do not have enough to eat. Food and food-related assistance lie at the heart of the struggle to break the cycle of hunger and poverty. On any given day, WFP has 5,000 trucks, 20 ships and 92 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need. Every year, we distribute approximately 12.6 billion rations at an estimated average cost per ration of US$ 0.31. These numbers lie at the roots of WFP’s unparalleled reputation as an emergency responder, one that gets the job done quickly at scale in the most difficult environments. WFP’s efforts focus on emergency assistance, relief and rehabilitation, development aid and special operations. Two-thirds of our work is in conflict-affected countries where people are three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries without conflict.

The editors believe that a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena requires an interdisciplinary approach. In that sense, the Journal will accept original contributions on interdisciplinary themes bridging subjects mainly in such thematic areas as Studies of Gender, Society and Environment, as well as Human Conditions in Modernity. Articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish will be accepted, so as to not only unveil the interdisciplinary investigations originated in several countries, but also to provide easy access to the original texts. The journal will also publish, in proper sections, translations of chapters of books not previously edited in the Portuguese language, as well as reviews of recently published books.

Weak extension and advisory services limit the ability to reach small-holder farmers with agricultural innovations and market opportunities. We work through action-oriented research and outreach efforts in developing countries to strengthen extension systems to increase agricultural productivity and reduce rural poverty.
Extension systems in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Central America need to undergo significant change if they are to effectively serve the food security and economic development needs of resource-poor men and women farmers. New approaches must draw on full breadth of resources in public, private and civil society organizations and utilized available advanced information and communications technologies. MEAS is a Center of Excellence that seeks to promote and support such endeavors.

The federating research programme ‘Management and Impacts of Climate Change’ (GICC - Gestion et Impacts du Changement Climatique) is one of the research programmes supported by the French Board for Economic Studies and Environmental Evaluation (D4E - Direction des études économiques et de l'évaluation environnementale). It was launched in 1999 by the ministry concerned, now called the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development Transports and Housing (MEDDTL). Several other organisms also contributed to the programme: the interministry task-force on the greenhouse effect (MIES), the Ministry of Agriculture, the Environment and Energy Conservation Agency (ADEME), the National Climate Warming Effects Monitoring Agency (ONERC), the French Biodiversity Institute, etc.
The stated objectives of the programme have always been to develop knowledge to back public policies, considering climate changes from the perspective of their impacts as well as from that of greenhouse gas limitation measures and climate change adaptation measures. This requires the mustering of research teams from a wide range of academic fields: on the one hand, the physical and biological sciences for a better knowledge of the impacts and, on the other, social studies to explore mitigation and adaptation possibilities.
Fondé en 2000, VertigO est une revue scientifique interdisciplinaire de sciences naturelles et de sciences humaines dont les articles sont soumis aux règles usuelles d’évaluation par un comité de pairs.

The Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) -the Spanish acronym is CEPAL- was established by Economic and Social Council resolution 106(VI) of 25 February 1948 and began to function that same year. The scope of the Commission's work was later broadened to include the countries of the Caribbean, and by resolution 1984/67 of 27 July 1984, the Economic Council decided to change its name to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); the Spanish acronym, CEPAL, remains unchanged. ECLAC, which is headquartered in Santiago, Chile, is one of the five regional commissions of the United Nations. It was founded with the purpose of contributing to the economic development of Latin America, coordinating actions directed towards this end, and reinforcing economic ties among countries and with other nations of the world. The promotion of the region's social development was later included among its primary objectives. In June 1951, the Commission established the ECLAC subregional headquarters in Mexico City, which serves the needs of the Central American subregion, and in December 1966, the ECLAC subregional headquarters for the Caribbean was founded in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, ECLAC maintains country offices in Buenos Aires, Brasilia, Montevideo and Bogotá, as well as a liaison office in Washington, D.C.

Le Réseau des Services de Conseil Agricole et Rural d’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre (RESCAR-AOC) émerge depuis 2010 avec la vocation d’être un des principaux acteurs d’opérationnalisation des politiques agricoles sous-régionales conçues pour contribuer au développement durable en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre (AOC). L’idée de la mise en place du RESCAR-AOC vient des échanges entre des cadres de la recherche, du développement et de la formation agricole évoluant en AOC sur leurs activités dans le domaine du conseil agricole et rural. Ils étaient arrivés à la conclusion que le renforcement des synergies entre professionnels améliorerait l’efficience de leurs interventions et la contribution des services de conseil agricole et rural au développement de l’AOC. Cette conclusion découlait de l’analyse de leurs expériences professionnelles respectives et de cinq constats : (i) la forte dispersion, le manque de coordination et de cohérence dans les efforts pour redynamiser les services de conseil agricole et rural (SCAR) en AOC ; (ii) la similitude des politiques, des enjeux et défis des SCAR dans les pays de l’AOC ; (iii) la régionalisation accrue de l’économie, des politiques et des actions de développement ; (iv) la nécessité d’améliorer l’efficience des interventions et les impacts et (v) la dynamique mondiale de concertation entre les acteurs des SCAR. L’idée d’un réseau régional des acteurs et parties prenantes des SCAR s’est raffermie à l’occasion de la première rencontre annuelle du Forum mondial pour le conseil rural (GFRAS) organisée en novembre 2010 au Chili et qui avait souligné l’importance de la concertation comme un moyen pour relever les défis communs. Un processus participatif de déploiement s’est progressivement mis en place sous la tutelle de plusieurs partenaires dont le Forum Africain des services de conseil agricole (AFAAS) et le Forum mondial pour le conseil rural (GFRAS) entre autres. Ce processus bénéficie de l’appui déterminant du Conseil Ouest et Centre Africain pour la recherche et le développement agricoles (CORAF/WECARD). Des avancées successives ont été réalisées grâce à l’engagement des initiateurs, à l’enthousiasme et l’énergie de nouveaux membres et aux encouragements et précieuses contributions des personnes ressources venant de diverses structures dont GFRAS, CORAF/WECARD, CIRAD, GIZ. En 2012, des échanges électroniques autour d’une note conceptuelle précisant les contours et les objectifs de RESCAR-AOC avaient permis aux membres de se donner une base commune et d’esquisser les contours et les objectifs de RESCAR-AOC. L’adhésion des acteurs institutionnels du développement agricole à l’idée d’un réseau régional de conseil agricole et rural est allée grandissante et a connu une étape décisive en 2012 avec l’organisation à Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) d’un atelier interinstitutionnel d’harmonisation des stratégies pour la mise en place du RESCAR-AOC. Les principaux organisateurs étaient le CORAF/WECARD, AFAAS GFRAS et avec la participation du Gouvernement du Burkina Faso. Cet atelier avait réuni plus de cinquante personnes de 17 pays et représentants des organisations des producteurs, la recherche et la formation agricoles, services techniques publics, ONGs, secteur privé, des partenaires techniques et financiers et des médias, des fora et plateformes existantes. Il avait abouti à un constat partagé sur la pertinence, la plus-value et le rôle potentiel d’une structure comme RESCAR-AOC et sur les grandes lignes du cheminement pour sa mise en place. En février 2015, la poursuite du processus de sa mise en place de RESCAR-AOC et de la définition du champ et des modalités de son action a donné lieu à un atelier de formalisation organisé à Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre le RESCAR-AOC, le CORAF/WECARD, AFAAS, GFRAS et l’Agence nationale pour le développement rural (ANADER). Cette rencontre avait permis de doter le RESCAR-AOC d’outils institutionnels et opérationnels appropriés pour apporter pleinement sa contribution spécifique dans la réalisation du développement durable en AOC. Les participants à cet atelier avaient validé les orientations stratégiques, la structuration et le système de gouvernance de RESCAR-AOC et convenu que son déploiement se fasse progressivement à travers une période transitoire de deux ans (juin 2015 – mai 2017). Cette phase d’initialisation est dédiée principalement à la réalisation des activités fondatrices permettant de renforcer l’engagement et la participation des membres, de développer des partenariats, de mettre en place le dispositif opérationnel et de faciliter l’insertion de RESCAR-AOC dans le paysage institutionnel de développement agricole d’AOC.
The World Vegetable Center, an international nonprofit vegetable research and development institute, believes a healthier, more resilient world is possible by creating greater diversity in what we grow and eat. WorldVeg strives to achieve faster, greater and lasting positive impact on the nutritional status, incomes, and well-being of people—particularly in Africa and Asia—through quality, long-term complementary partnerships in research and development to increase the production and consumption of safe, nutritious and health-promoting vegetables. Founded in 1971 in Taiwan, the WorldVeg global network now covers East and Southeast Asia, Oceania, sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Central and West Asia. WorldVeg research provides small-scale farmers with the knowledge, skills, technologies and opportunities to boost their vegetable yields and increase their incomes. Activities aim to strengthen the entire vegetable value chain, from vegetable seed systems and breeding to market access and nutrition. The Center implements its science for development agenda through three outcome-oriented ‘flagship programs’: Safe and Sustainable Value Chains, Healthy Diets, and Vegetable Diversity and Improvement, and one cross-cutting flagship program: Enabling Impact. Flagships are gateways to achieving outcomes and impact and each is operationalized through two to four ‘innovation clusters’. Work focuses on research for discovery, piloting new practices and technologies, and scaling them for impact, with an emphasis on continuous improvement of a coherent set of products and services. The flagships interact with the World Vegetable Center Genebank, which holds the world’s largest public-sector collection of vegetable seed. WorldVeg advanced breeding lines with better pest and disease resistance that can tolerate extremes of flooding, drought, and heat are used throughout the world by plant breeders to develop improved vegetable varieties. By promoting sound research, good agricultural practices and safe production and postharvest methods through partnerships with national agricultural and research institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector, WorldVeg helps growers produce healthier harvests for themselves and consumers while protecting the environment. Integrated crop management strategies include improved vegetable lines, grafting, low-cost drip irrigation, safe pest management, and crop fertilization and rotation systems suited to smallholders. Protected cultivation in low-cost green- and screenhouses reduces risk and offers opportunities for farmers to intensify and diversify production, tap new markets, and provide the safe food consumers increasingly demand. Postharvest research in grading, transportation, processing, marketing, and distribution helps farmers add value to vegetables, increase their incomes, and provide a more steady supply of vegetables year-round for consumers. WorldVeg strategies for household and school gardens integrated with nutrition education diversify diets and build life-long habits for good health. WorldVeg works with traditional vegetables—underutilized species with the potential to provide sustenance and much-needed micronutrients to balance staple-heavy diets—and conducts research on the nutritional and nutraceutical qualities of all vegetables for their potential to improve health for individuals, families, and communities. Ongoing programs disseminate and extend these improved technologies to farmers, NGOs, and national agricultural research systems.
