    December, 2013

    Agriculture is the economic foundation of many Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, employing about 60 percent of the workforce and contributing an average of 30 percent of gross domestic product. Yet agricultural growth rates for SSA declined in the 2000 and food insecurity remains a concern, with malnourishment only dropping from 34 to 30 percent in two decades. Various projections suggest that food production must increase by 70-100 percent by 2050 to meet the demands of a world with 9 billion people and changing diets.

    By 2013, the Armenian economy has left behind most of the hangover from the global financial crisis and a look at medium-to long-term growth drivers is therefore in order. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth reached 7.2 percent in 2012, and the current account deficit narrowed, although it remained high. Macroeconomic buffers have been rebuilt to some extent, although the public debt-to-GDP ratio, at 44 percent, remains too high to relax fiscal restraints.

    This paper examines some of the concepts
    surrounding the idea that forests and trees can contribute
    to making households more resilient to food insecurity. The
    paper begins with a discussion of the widely accepted
    definitions of food security, and the implications for our
    understanding of the role of forests and trees in
    contributing to food security. Authors discuss the origins
    of the idea of resilience, adaptability, and transformation
