Universal food security: how to end hunger while protecting the planet
The world population will approach 10 billion by 2050. A food-secure world in 2050 would mean that all 10 billion people have stable access to adequate, safe, and nutritious food, produced without degrading the environment. The knowledge to end hunger and malnutrition, without environmental damage and resource depletion, already exists. But it is largely inaccessible or unknown to those who are responsible for, or are interested in, fulfilling this vision. Universal Food Security synthesizes and presents relevant knowledge and practice that are locked away in the literature, and in the notebooks and memories of experienced field practitioners. This book explores the fundamentals of food systems, what can be done to improve them for a food-secure future, and how to do it. Written by a seasoned development expert whose 40 years of experience in food security include work on the UN's Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals task forces, this book is an ideal guide for students and practitioners looking to transform our food landscape for current and future generations.
