NTS Perspectives (Issue No. 3 – Nov 2010) | Comprehensive Food Security: An Approach to Sustainably Address Food Insecurity
Abstract
Food security has become one of this century’s key global challenges. Given current population and consumption trends, as well as the factors of climate change and resource scarcity, the situation is set to worsen – unless drastic actions are taken. The multi-dimensional nature of the food problem requires a comprehensive approach, one that not only addresses food production and availability but also deals with access issues. Only then can sustainable food security be achieved.
