The individual and institutional capacities required for the
prevention and reduction of nutritional insecurity and hunger in
lesser-developed countries as the twenty-first century approaches
are identified in this book. Household nutritional "security" can
be defined as the successful The essays in this book champion the
idea of increasing, or scaling up, grass roots operations to
provide nutritional security, while scaling down the efforts of
national and international institutions. Scaling up involves
strengthening local capacities to improve and expand upon current
successful programs by building upon existing local culture and
organizations. This, in turn, enables the programs to strengthen
relationships with national governments, international
bilateral/multilateral donors, as well as non-governmental
organizations. Scaling down concerns the ways and means by which
these various organizations encourage and complement the local
development. Therefore, as local capacities are scaled up, the
national/international control over decisions and functions is,
ideally, scaled down. The volume also directly addresses the
resultant complication: how to create programs that are both
culturally specific and that will flourish well into the future.
