Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security in Asia and the Pacific Paperback
by United Nations: Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
Paperback
Description
The study is focused on the impact of food insecurity on the Asia-Pacific region and how to deal with it.
Access to food and not the supply of food is central to food security.
Thus, Governments need to develop and strengthen social protection programmes and improve the availability of food at the national and local levels.
In the medium term, it is critical to support the revitalisation of small-scale sustainable food production.
The study examines the environmental, economic and social challenges that are the roots of the region's food insecurity and suggests a regional framework of action to be taken by governments and the international community in order to create greater food security.
