Описание: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers-women-lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive.

Описание: The study examined women’s roles and gender gaps in land operation and farming, labor arrangements in agriculture and water management, and feminization of agriculture in the Lower Vaksh River Basin in Tajikistan.

The study was part of the Strengthening Gender-Inclusive Growth in Central and West Asia project supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The study findings will improve understanding of the situation so as to inform the ADB grant-financed project in modernizing irrigation and drainage systems in the Lower Vaksh River Basin. It reinforces the need for gender inclusiveness in planning and designing irrigation and drainage projects, ensuring benefits for all.

Описание: Long-held assumptions about women, home, food, and cooking have broken down. In an increasing number of households, women are either absent from or share domestic work more equally with men. At the same time, the visibility of men’s cooking has increased through TV shows, books, blogs, and websites devoted to food and cooking. Terms like ‘gastrosexual’ have emerged to describe the growing male market for kitchenware and the growing prestige of public masculine foodwork. Whilst scholars have begun to examine how men’s increasing engagement with homemaking practices shapes masculine identities and transforms meanings of ‘home’, Food, Masculinities and Home is the first book to focus specifically on food. An international, multidisciplinary range of contributors explores questions such as: - How do food practices shape masculinities and notions of home, and vice versa? - To what extent are existing gender hierarchies being challenged? To what extent is masculine privilege being reiterated? - To what extent are masculinities being reshaped by the increasing presence of men in kitchens and food-focused spaces? With ever-growing interest in both food and gender studies, this is a must-read for students and researchers in food studies, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, geography, anthropology, and related fields.

Описание:

Long-held associations between women, home, food, and cooking are beginning to unravel as, in a growing number of households, men are taking on food and cooking responsibilities. At the same time, men's public foodwork continues to gain attention in the media and popular culture. The first of its kind, Food, Masculinities and Home focuses specifically on food in relation to how homemaking practices shape masculine identities and transform meanings of 'home'. The international, multidisciplinary contributors explore questions including how food practices shape masculinity and notions of home, and vice versa; the extent to which this gender shift challenges existing gender hierarchies; and how masculinities are being reshaped by the growing presence of men in kitchens and food-focused spaces.

With ever-growing interest in both food and gender studies, this is a must-read for students and researchers in food studies, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, geography, anthropology, and related fields.

Описание: "Fat". In contemporary society the word never fails to elicit powerful emotions, especially as it relates to bodily health and appearance. But fat is a noun as well as an adjective and has a cultural life outside of its relationship with the human body. By focusing on the complex physical and experiential dimensions of this problematic substance, Fat: Culture and Materiality breaks new ground in the study of the relationship between culture and the material world. With contributions from well-respected international scholars, this innovative and interdisciplinary collection will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in fat and its relationship to culture, materiality and lived experience. The volume addresses the role of fats in a variety of cultural settings. Topics include the politics of Palestinian olive oil; the allure of pig fat in heritage pork; the material sources of fat stereotypes in classical and biblical texts; the use of harvested fat in aesthetic surgery; and the status of fat in the self-narratives of anorexics.

Описание:

Over the space of a few generations, women's relationship with food has changed dramatically. Yet - despite significant advances in gender equality - food and femininity remain closely connected in the public imagination as well as the emotional lives of women. While women encounter food-related pressures and pleasures as individuals, the social challenge to perform food femininities remains: as the nurturing mother, the talented home cook, the conscientious consumer, the svelte and health-savvy eater.

In Food and Femininity, Kate Cairns and Jos e Johnston explore these complex and often emotionally-charged tensions to demonstrate that food is essential to the understanding of femininity today. Drawing on extensive qualitative research in Toronto, they present the voices of over 100 food-oriented men and women from a range of race and class backgrounds. Their research reveals gendered expectations to purchase, prepare, and enjoy food within the context of time crunches, budget restrictions, political commitments, and the pressure to manage health and body weight. The book analyses how women navigate multiple aspects of foodwork for themselves and others, from planning meals, grocery shopping, and feeding children, to navigating conflicting preferences, nutritional and ethical advice, and the often-inequitable division of household labour. What emerges is a world in which women's choices continue to be closely scrutinized - a world where 'failing' at food is still perceived as a failure of femininity.

A compelling rethink of contemporary femininity, this is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the sociology of food, gender studies and consumer culture.

Описание: This report documents good practices and lessons learned from around the world in emergency and humanitarian situations, highlighting FAO's successes in building resilience and mainstreaming gender. These include labour-saving technologies and fostering participation through initiatives such as women's open schools, farmer field schools, and community organizations.

Conflicts and disasters around the world, and their negative impacts on lives and properties, are drawing attention to the need to increase the resilience of vulnerable rural communities and their livelihood sources. Protection from sexual and gender-based violence is an area that deserves special attention, particularly in areas of protracted crises.

This stock-taking exercise encourages the cross-fertilization of experiences among participating offices as well as those that have not yet taken part. Some of these practices are already being scaled up, including fuel-efficient stoves under Safe Access to Fuel and Energy, and the cajas rurales or caisses de re?silience as one of the livelihood approaches building on associations of farmer women and men.
