Dear Jacqueline,

On behalf of my colleague Jim Sumberg at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), I would like to share three blog posts Jim Sumberg and colleagues have written on rural youth, food and work, which are relevant to the present discussion.  

We would be happy to have these considered as part of the consultation, and incorporated in the write-up.
