Food and nutrition security in the process of globalization and urbanization

Více o knize

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.
