This book examines the current and future challenges facing the
food and agricultural system and their implications for
policymaking at the national and international level.The growth in
global population and income is expected to result in increasing
demand for food and agricultural raw materials, intensifying
concerns over food security and increasing pressure on the planet's
natural resources. Moreover, climate change - a challenge on its
own - is likely to increase the urgency for reforms in the food and
agricultural sector. As a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas
emissions, the sector will need to participate in efforts to slow
global warming and to adjust to the effects of climate change,
while ensuring global food security and resource sustainability.
These pressures define a new set of priorities for policymaking at
the national and international level. They also necessitate changes
in the framework of global institutions for effective governance of
the food system.Global Challenges for Future Food and Agricultural
Policies presents a comprehensive analysis of the inter-related
policy challenges of food security, management of natural
resources, climate change, and international governance. The book
also offers valuable insights into options for effective
policymaking with the goal of inducing positive policy changes to
the food and agricultural sector.
