Introducing the Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Tool (MPAT): A new framework for measuring rural poverty
Submitted by c.baldin on Fri, 2013-01-25 16:25
Summary:
The Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Tool (MPAT)is a newly developed, multi-purpose tool that can be used to assess and support rural poverty alleviation efforts in developing countries. MPAT takes a step back from assessment methods that are focused on economic- and consumption-oriented indicators and strives to provide an overview of fundamental and relatively universal dimensions of rural livelihoods and rural life, and thus of rural poverty.

Integrated crop-livestock farming systems
Submitted by c.baldin on Fri, 2013-01-25 16:14Summary:
Population growth, urbanization and income growth in developing countries are fuelling a substantial global increase in the demand for food of animal origin, while also aggravating the competition between crops and livestock. The livestock revolution is stretching the capacity of existing production, but it is also exacerbating environmental problems. Therefore, while it is necessary to satisfy consumer demand, improve nutrition and direct income growth opportunities to those who need them most, it is also necessary to alleviate environmental stress.
