Food Security, Gender and Resilience
Through the integration of gender analysis into resilience thinking, this book shares field-based research insights from a collaborative, integrated project aimed at improving food security in subsistence and smallholder agricultural systems.
The scope of the book is both local and multi-scalar. The gendered resilience framework, illustrated here with detailed case studies from semi-arid Kenya, is shown to be suitable for use in analysis in other geographic regions and across disciplines. The book examines the importance of gender equity to the strengthening of socio-ecological resilience. Case studies reflect multidisciplinary perspectives and focus on a range of issues, from microfinance to informal seed systems.
The books gender perspective also incorporates consideration of age or generational relations and cultural dimensions in order to embrace the complexity of existing socio-economic realities in rural farming communities. The issue of succession of farmland has become a general concern, both to farmers and to researchers focused on building resilient farming systems. Building resilience here is shown to involve strengthening households and communities overall livelihood capabilities in the face of ongoing climate change, global market volatility, and political instability.

Resilience is now firmly in the mainstream of research and practice of international development. The journey of this idea from a fringe concept that was used to describe approaches to managing responses to specific shocks to one that now refers to an alternative paradigm of sustainable development itself, is complete. This evolution has been spurred by a massive increase in the interest of the international donor community in funding initiatives to operationalise the concept for improving the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities across the world. Unfortunately, the speed with which resilience has been taken up into practice has also meant that a number of key foundational issues remain unresolved. The manner in which the concept, with its origins in the natural sciences and the study of ecosystems, has been applied to systems with a strong social dimension has meant that a negotiation of issues vital to development progress such as politics, power and culture do not yet have the centrality they deserve within this paradigm.
