The Linkages Between Migration, Agriculture, Food Security and Rural Development
This report examines the complex interlinkages of migration with agriculture, food security and rural development. It does so by taking stock of the literature and the evidence from both developed and developing countries focusing on why people from rural areas decide to migrate. The linkages between migration, agriculture and food security can be direct with rural people migrating because they do not see viable options for overcoming poverty, hunger and malnutrition within their own rural communities. However, migration is complex and caused by several interrelated factors. The linkages between migration, agriculture and food security can often be indirect and realized in different contexts. The report focuses on significant effects on migration that can arise through the interactions of food security with conflict, poverty, shocks and emergencies, environmental degradation and climate change, but also through household strategies to cope with the risk of hunger and malnutrition.
