Throughout the world, countries are battling soaring food prices,
food-borne illnesses, food shortages and undernourishment, and the
detrimental effects of certain farming and manufacturing practices
on health, nutrition, and the environment. Even in the United
States-which historically has had an abundant food supply-more and
more people are suffering from food insecurity, especially with the
onset of the global financial crisis. Recent advances in
agriculture and distribution have positively affected many regions
of the world, but there has yet to be an outright and satisfactory
solution to this ongoing crisis. Food Security examines the three
pillars of this timely topic-availability, access, and nutrition.
This brand-new resource analyses the current and past efforts of
private and governmental groups to combat food insecurity, and
detailed case studies of food security issues in the United States,
Bangladesh, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and
Yemen are also provided.
