内容提要:
For millions of people living in mountainous areas, hunger and the threat of hunger are nothing new. Harsh climates and the difficult, often inaccessible terrain, combinedwith political and social marginality make mountain peoples vulnerable to foodshortages. One in three mountain people in developing countries is facinghunger and malnutrition. This study presents an updated geographic anddemographic picture of the world’s mountain areas and assesses the vulnerability to food insecurity of mountain dwellers in developing countries,based on a specially designed model. The final section presents an alternative and complementary approach to assessing hunger by analyzing household surveys.The results show that the living conditions of mountain dwellers have continued to deteriorate in the last decade. Global progress and living standard improvements do not appear to have made their way up the mountains and many mountain communities lag way behind the full eradication of poverty and hunger.This publication gives voice to the plight of mountain people and sends a message to policy-makers on the importance of including mountain development intheir agendas as well as specific measures and investments that could break the cycle of poverty and hunger of mountain communities and slow outmigration from mountain areas.
对生活在山区的数百万人口而言,饥饿和饥饿的威胁并不鲜见。恶劣的环境条件,道路难行并且常常是人迹罕至的地理位置,加上政治的和社会的边缘化,使得山区居民在面对粮食短缺时表现得十分脆弱。在发展中国家,每三个山区居民中就有一个正在面临着饥饿和营养不良的困境。本研究拟采用专门设计的模型,呈现一幅全世界的山区自然地理和人口图,以评估发展中国家的山区居民对粮食不安全的脆弱性。在最后一部分,我们根据家庭调查数据的分析结果,提供了评估饥饿的其它补充方法。结果表明,近十年间,山区居民的生活条件持续不断恶化,全球进步和全球生活水平的提高并没有使山区居民的生活因此得到同步的改善,很多山区还远没有彻底消除贫困和饥饿。本书旨在让政策制定者能够了解山区居民的困境,倾听山区居民的声音,将山区发展纳入政府的议事日程,同时,采取针对性的措施并投入专门的资金,破解山区贫困和饥饿的难题,减缓山区人口的处迁。
