AAEA annual meeting organized symposium session
MILWAUKEE, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2024 AAEA Annual
Meeting Organized Symposium session "Nutrition, Inequality, Gender
and Food Security" will feature short presentations on issues of
smallholder farming, agricultural development, and food security in
low-and middle-income countries. Despite economic development in
many countries, food insecurity remains widespread, affecting
hundreds of millions of humans. The concept of food security is
evolving, if not politicized, and now encompasses gender,
inequality, and healthy diets unattained by most, including in
industrialized countries. Several concepts get amalgamated into
food insecurity, although they are vastly different and have very
different implications for human development. The short
presentations are followed by a moderated discussion with the
audience. The presenters involve a mixture of high-potential
early-career researchers and more senior colleagues.
Presentations in this session:
1. Economic shocks and conflict have more
severe impacts on dietary diversity among women than men in
conflict-affected Myanmar
Tauseef Salauddin, International
Food Policy Research Institute
2. Exogenous Shocks and Nutrition: Evidence
from Bangladesh
Jaweriah Hazrana, Arizona State
University
This session will take place on Monday,
July 29 from 1:00 pm –
2:30 pm CST in the New Orleans
Marriott in Studio 9 on the second floor.
