Food and nutrition security in the process of globalization and urbanization

Mehr zum Buch

This reader examines key issues of food and nutrition security under the driving forces of globalization and urbanization. Although much has been written on food security, a systematic treatment of a historical-empirical view is a recent development. The book's contributions build on the 1999 volume of "Food Security and Nutrition - The Global Challenge". It is written for a broad audience, including scientists, experts, consultants, practitioners of development aid and students. The reader constitutes one of the most comprehensive compendia of its kind. ( Spektrum.
