An introduction to the urgent global question of how to feed the hungry
Global food production has never been more abundant, yet nearly a billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, virtually all of them in the developing world.

It focuses on three core issues―food availability, food accessibility, and food utilization―in order to produce a rounded picture of the causes and possible solutions for food scarcity. Thorough and accessible, it promises to help researchers and policymakers address this growing humanitarian crisis in a reasoned and targeted way.
Food Security in the Developing World readers will also find:
- Future-oriented approach which continuously highlights paths forward
- Detailed discussion of topics including climate change and agricultural productivity, price volatility, diet and nutrition, and many more
- Examples and case studies drawn from across the developing world, including Sudan, Uganda, Nepal, and Afghanistan
