Hunger and food shortages have been endemic in rural Ethiopia for
countless generations; nevertheless, it was not until the
mid-1970s, following the fall of the imperial regime and its
replacement by the military government, the Derg, that food
security became a concern in public policy discourse, and a variety
of program initiatives were put in place to tackle the problem.
Since then there has been increased awareness of the complex causes
of food shortages and a growing determination on the part of
decision-makers to bring to an end the blight of hunger and
malnutrition that has been so much a part of the daily lives of
millions of poor and vulnerable people in the country. This book
stems from the LEAFS (Linking Emergency Assistance with Food
Security) project initiated in 2007 as a collaborative project
between Wageningen University Disaster Studies Department and Bahir
Dar University Department of Disaster Risk Management and
Sustainable Development. The project sought to understand linkages
between the global and local levels in food security policy and
practice, and included local level research by PhD students in two
weredas of Amhara Region. This resultant volume this brings
together a wide diversity of research works, many of which were
specifically commissioned, looking at the effects of food security
interventions broadly, and the PSNP in particular, on individuals
households, communities, regions and the country as a whole,
providing a springboard for wider public debate and reflection.
