Food Insecurity in Haiti: a Gendered Problem in the Making Food Insecurity in Haiti: A gendered problem in the making by S. Jennifer Vansteenkiste A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada @ S. Jennifer Vansteenkiste, August, 2017 ABSTRACT Food Insecurity in Haiti: A gendered problem in the making S. Jennifer Vansteenkiste Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. Robin Roth This dissertation applies a gendered analysis to the problem of food insecurity in Haiti, in order to document the impact from, and local responses to, a gender-blind and supply-centric world food economy. This is achieved by investigating the ways in which female and male rural and peri-urban peasant farmers and female urban poor, in northern Haiti, achieve food security. In so doing, I offer an alternative to the dominant narrative of food security, in Haiti, produced by institutional actors. Employing mixed-methods and feminist methodology, I conducted 526 interviews with 260 respondents, of which 115 were members of four primary rural, peri-urban, and urban community-based organisations (CBOs) that constituted the main interest of the study. These respondents were interviewed before and after a state land grab that dispossessed them from land where they produced and collected food. Four specific objectives combine to achieve the aim of the study. First, the study considers how powerful actors, who create a gender-blind world food economy, rely on gendered roles and responsibilities, paradoxically heightening food insecurity for rural women in Haiti. Second, the study examines how male and female rural and peri-urban peasants in northern Haiti interact in community-based organizations to reproduce themselves as the poto mitan, or centre pole, of local and regional food security. They use state land, and locally defined concepts of moral economy of care, identity, and autonomy, to make critical and strategic contributions to Haiti’s food security and social stability. Third, the study documents how CBOs may act as a form of resistance designed to decolonize peasant identity by placemaking through food production. And finally, the research utilizes Sen’s capabilities (opportunities or freedoms one has) and functionings of value (action to engage an opportunity), an evaluative tool, to establish how all-women organizations in Haiti are able to address strategic gender interests and practical food needs. These findings demonstrate the value of Haiti’s gendered, internally-oriented food economy, and how food security and social stability are established despite living within a retracted food economy. These findings indicate the need to make gender a central organizing and governing principle in food security policy.

  • Gender and Resilience
    TECHNICAL BRIEF Gender and Resilience How Inclusive Participation in Cattle Management Strengthens Women’s Resilience in Northern Haiti Authored by Jennifer Plantin, with contributions from Carole Pierre and Evelyne Sylvain Photo by Djimmy Regis, November 2020. Pictured: Vital Sefina from APROLIM in Limonade Haiti This brief is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of Chemonics International Inc. and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. 1 USAID/HAITI REFORESTATION PROJECT APRIL 2021 Introduction Women in Haiti are often at social, political, and economic disadvantages compared to their male counterparts, as evidenced by Haiti's ranking in the Gender Inequality Index (152 out of 162 countries) (UNDP, 2020). The gap is especially significant and consequential for rural women who engage primarily in subsistence farming with little to no access to or control over productive assets and financial services. The patriarchal system that persists today exacerbates these entrenched disparities, especially in rural Haiti. These challenges make women more vulnerable to the many shocks Haiti continues to experience, such as food insecurity, natural disasters, climate change, political instability, and economic shocks. One emerging opportunity to improve livelihoods and bolster household resilience while mitigating climate change is inclusive livestock management. International development

"The chief value of the book, besides its historical value, is that it gives stay-at-homes, in a very readable form, a good picture of the irregular Colonial soldier of forty years ago, and the kind of fighting that has gone on in all parts of the world while the Empire has been in course of construction." " The Globe? 2nd August 1911.

Economic growth increased in strength, and the number of new jobs created during my Administration rose to 4.7 million. After 6 years of delay, the American people had a Crime Bill, which will put 100,000 police officers on our streets and take 19 deadly assault weapons off the street.
