As one of the major challenges of the 21st century, food security
requires nations to maintain food production at appropriate levels,
provide potable water, and at once, ensure access of people to such
food and water. Food suppliers also need to ensure year-long supply
of food at optimum price and of high quality, both for needy and
for discerning customers. Food Security in Asia provides a
comprehensive analysis of the critical dimensions of food security
in various countries of Asia. It compellingly argues that food
insecurity is a complex phenomenon that requires a comprehensive
response encompassing, inter alia, increasing food production,
expanding economic and social access to food, special access to
food for disadvantaged groups and, most importantly, breaking down
the gender-based barriers to accessing food. The book discusses the
major governmental policies in relation to the communities'
responses. While highlighting the pressure exerted by climate
change and world population growth, it also propounds ideas that
would help in making informed policy choices.
