Table 3.8 Underlying processes related to each food stability impact mechanism
Mechanisms and underlying processes
Studies
D1. Natural disasters
Positive
Jatropha provides a natural “fence” that protects
crops from wind or floods
Favretto et al. (2014)
D2. Market stability
Positive
Smallholder women cooperatives increase
market stability
Banye (2014)
D4. Hunger reduction
Positive
Industrial crop producers are able to purchase
food during periods of food shortages
Bosch and Zeller (2013); Favretto et al. (2014)
Some industrial crops (e.g. shea) can be used for
food purposes during hunger period
Hatskevich et al. (2011)
D6. Women empowerment
Positive
Engagement in industrial crop value chains
enhances income (and income opportunities)
for women
Carrere (2013); Arndt et al. (2011); Romijn
et al. (2014); Romijn et al. (2014); Timko et al.
(2014); Adams et al. (2016); Banye (2014);
Bello-Bravo et al. (2015); Laube (2015);
Suleman et al. (2014); Sodjinou et al. (2015)
Engagement in industrial crop value chains
catalyses the formation of women groups that
are in a better position to negotiate prices
Favretto et al. (2014); Annan (2013); Garba
et al. (2015)
Industrial crop schemes provide training
opportunities for women
Williamson et al. (2005)
Negative
Women do not control the income generated
through engagement in industrial crop value
chain, and are excluded from related decisionmaking
Zommers et al. (2012); Anderman et al.
(2014); Kiewisch (2015)
Women lose access to education and paid
employment due to their engagement in industrial crop value chains
Lazzarini (2016); Moseley (2001)
Women are paid less for their engagement in
industrial crop value chains
Matenga (2016)
D7. Environmental stability
Positive
Industrial crop production reduces deforestation, which affects one of the other three pillars
of food security (food availability)
Uckert et al. (2015)
Negative
Industrial crop production causes deforestation,
which has a negative effect to one of the other
three pillars of food security (food availability)
Carrere (2013); Greenpeace International
(2012); Greenpeace International (2016);
Moser (2008); Grimsby et al. (2012);
Naughton et al. (2017); Chivuraise (2011);
Moser (2008); Patel (2007); Randriamalala
and Liu (2010)
