D3.2. Report on the modelling of social and distributional impact of trade and sustainability policies

Trade and sustainability policies have a large impact on agricultural households, in particular on those that are involved in the most affected food value chains. This task will investigate which SD indicators are most affected by the social and distributional impacts of trade and sustainability policies. In doing this TRADE4SD will investigate which social groups are targeted by these policies and developments in world trade. The model will be applied to Ghana breaking-down impacts with regard to social groups, analysing the resilience of different households to changes in trade and related sustainability policies i.e. the vulnerability of different households to food security and nutrition. FAO’s nutritional and undernourishment model components will contribute to this work by the provision of specific indicators. The information acquired by accomplishing D3.2. helps in building policy scenarios which highlight more and more specifically the possible benefits and risks (primarily in terms of SDGs indicators) of developments in world trade and trade and sustainability policies.
