| Summary: | "Despite the fact that the world is producing a sufficient amount of food for all, about 11% (800 million) of the global population is malnourished. Developing countries are home to about 98% of the world's undernourished people. It is time to understand the dynamics of food security in these countries. Understanding three core issues in depth -- food availability, accessibility and utilization -- will help us to understand the phenomenon of food security and guide the policy process in developing countries. This book will bring together these three core food security issues in one volume, and provide readers with the opportunity to understand this complex and multifaceted problem. The book will help readers to think about the issue of food security in a comprehensive way, and will shed light on policy issues in developing countries in a way that will help policy makers and researchers to understand and further explore these areas."-- |
