Kinship and reproduction: A perspective of the Akha in Laos
The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract Drawing on fieldwork among the Akha people in Phongsaly District, Phongsaly Province, northern Laos, this paper examines Akha patrilineal kinship and its links to reproduction. The Akha people's reproductive decisions and behaviours are shaped by patrilineality, ancestral connections and cultural–spiritual perceptions of reproduction, which ...

Importing Insecurity? The Paradox of Cereal Trade Openness and Food Security in Sub‐Saharan Africa
The World Economy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) aims to end world hunger, but Africa is currently not on track to meet this goal. Sub‐Saharan Africa is particularly affected, with a significant increase in undernourished people. The issue of food security is, therefore, a pressing concern, and promoting trade has been suggested as one solution.
