Description
This book examines projections of two key determinants of food security: food production and import capacity of the countries. Domestic food production performance plays the most critical role in food security, particularly for regions like Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that depend on grain supplies. Conversely, imports play a significant role for regions like Latin America and North Africa that depend on positive trade terms. To understand how food production and import capacity impact food security, researchers estimated and projected three measures of food security regionally including: the number of food-insecure people in each country, the nutrition gap, and the distribution gap.
