Description

FOOD SECURITY IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

An introduction to the urgent global question of how to feed the hungry

Global food production has never been more abundant, yet nearly a billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, virtually all of them in the developing world. Food security in these countries is a global humanitarian issue which becomes more urgent with every passing year. There is a vital need to understand the nature and causes of food scarcity in developing countries in order to see to it that our global bounty reaches the hungry people who need it.

Food Security in the Developing World offers a comprehensive single-volume introduction to the subject. It focuses on three core issues food availability, food accessibility, and food utilization in order to produce a rounded picture of the causes and possible solutions for food scarcity. Thorough and accessible, it promises to help researchers and policymakers address this growing humanitarian crisis in a reasoned and targeted way.

Food Security in the Developing World readers will also find:

  • Future-oriented approach which continuously highlights paths forward
  • Detailed discussion of topics including climate change and agricultural productivity, price volatility, diet and nutrition, and many more
  • Examples and case studies drawn from across the developing world, including Sudan, Uganda, Nepal, and Afghanistan

Food Security in the Developing World is ideal for food scientists and technologists, students in programs related to food science, development studies, geography, and related subjects, and policymakers working in food production and distribution.
