Hunger and Markets is the third volume of the UN World Food
Programme's World Hunger Series - created to help promote a better
understanding of the choices confronting leaders as they work to
fight hunger. It appears at a crucial time, with food prices at
high levels, a severe global financial crisis and vulnerable
households around the world endangering their future health,
education and productivity by reducing both the quality and the
quantity of their food intake. Hunger and Markets explores the
complex and multifaceted interactions between the availability of
and access to food and the operations of markets. The structure and
dynamics of food markets and the threats and opportunities markets
generate are crucial for the access to food for billions of people.
Markets are also critical in averting or mitigating food shortages
and hunger by adjusting to shocks, reducing vulnerability and
coping with crises. Whether markets help or harm the hungry poor is
a function of markets' institutions, infrastructure and policies.
This volume analyzes the workings of markets in order to identify
the sources of market failures in addressing hunger and
malnutrition, and to highlight the ways in which they can be
improved. The report sets out the ways in which programme design
and policy formulation can build on the strengths of markets to
prevent possible negative effects, and will be essential reading
for all those involved in the fight against world hunger. Published
