TL;DR: In this article, the authors conduct a multiple model assessment on the combined effects of climate change and climate mitigation efforts on agricultural commodity prices, dietary energy availability and the population at risk of hunger.
Abstract: Food insecurity can be directly exacerbated by climate change due to crop-production-related impacts of warmer and drier conditions that are expected in important agricultural regions1–3. However, efforts to mitigate climate change through comprehensive, economy-wide GHG emissions reductions may also negatively affect food security, due to indirect impacts on prices and supplies of key agricultural commodities4–6. Here we conduct a multiple model assessment on the combined effects of climate change and climate mitigation efforts on agricultural commodity prices, dietary energy availability and the population at risk of hunger. A robust finding is that by 2050, stringent climate mitigation policy, if implemented evenly across all sectors and regions, would have a greater negative impact on global hunger and food consumption than the direct impacts of climate change. The negative impacts would be most prevalent in vulnerable, low-income regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where food security problems are already acute.

TL;DR: In this article, a bio-economic model calibrated to the socioeconomic and biophysical characteristics of a less-favoured area in the Ethiopian highlands was used to assess the impact of improved access to non-farm income on household welfare, agricultural production, conservation investments and land degradation in the form of soil erosion.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the ecological debate surrounding the planting of eucalyptus trees and conclude that a policy option favoring the allocation of wastelands for private tree planting offers the greatest opportunity for rural smallholders.

TL;DR: This paper examined the impact of marketing cooperatives on smallholder commercialization of cereals using detailed household data in rural Ethiopia and found that although cooperatives obtain higher prices for their members, they are not associated with a significant increase in the overall share of cereal production sold commercially by their members.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use representative household data from Malawi and develop a demand systems approach to estimate income and price elasticities of food demand and nutrient consumption. And they show that given multiple nutritional deficiencies, income-related policies are better suited than price policies to improve nutrition.
