Throughout history, human societies have struggled to ensure that
all people have access to sufficient food to lead active and
healthy lives. Despite great global effort, events of the early
21st century clearly demonstrate that food remains a pressing
challenge which has significant implications for security. In this
book, Bryan McDonald explores how processes of globalization and
global change have reshaped food systems in ways that have
significant impacts for the national security of states and the
human of communities and individuals. Over the past few decades,
local, regional, and national food systems have increasingly become
intertwined in an emerging global food network. This complex web of
relations includes the production, harvest, processing, transport,
and consumption of food. While this global food network provides
new opportunities for improving health and well-being, it also
gives rise to new sources of security threats and vulnerabilities.
This detailed and comprehensive introduction to the major issues
impacting global food security will be essential reading for
students and scholars in security studies, international politics,
and environmental studies.
