A food system is sustainable if it delivers food and nutrition
security for all without compromising the economic, social, and
environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for
future generations. Sustainable food systems are vital in ensuring
global health and ending malnutrition in all its forms. Assessing
important dimensions of the food system such as nutrition,
sustainable agriculture, food loss and waste can provide
stakeholders with necessary information to evaluate the strength of
their country's food systems and determine where more support is
needed. Developing Sustainable Food Systems, Policies, and
Securities is a pivotal reference source that explores the nature,
extent, and causes of nutrition problems across the world as well
as the role that agricultural policy plays in these issues. The
book supports the development of sustainable food systems, policy
options, and securities by various countries in order to
successfully maintain sustainable food production systems.
Featuring research topics such as food security, carbon emissions,
and nutrition, the book is ideally designed for economists,
environmentalists, food producers, policymakers, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking coverage on agricultural and
sustainability issues.

Poverty is largely a rural phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa. The
key contributors to poverty are low mean per capita income and its
inequitable distribution. However, there has been paucity of
empirical studies on the contribution of these factors to poverty
in Nigeria. The contribution of mean income and inequality to
spatial variations in rural poverty were investigated in this
study. Through the use of descriptive statistics, Gini coefficient
(GC), Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression, Shapley Decomposition
(SD) techniques and Poverty Dominance Curves (PDC), we observed
that the North Central had the highest inequality and poverty
indices while Northwest and Southwest had the lowest respectively.
Approaches to attain poverty alleviation would therefore differ
across the geopolitical zones
