The State of Food and Agriculture: Social Protection and Agriculture: Breaking the Cycle of Rural Poverty
Published By: Food and Agriculture Organisation | Published Date: January, 01 , 2015This edition of The State of Food and Agriculture 2015 reviews the effectiveness of social protection interventions in reducing poverty, raising food consumption, relieving household food insecurity and hunger, and promoting longer-term improvements in nutrition. It is argued that social protection programmes are effective at reducing poverty and hunger. This is especially the case when they are gender-sensitive or targeted at women because they enhance child and maternal welfare, which is important for breaking generational poverty.
