An Assessment on Food Security in Developing Economies-Problems and Policy In...IOSR Journals
This document discusses food security in developing economies and policy initiatives to address it. It begins by defining food security as access to sufficient nutritious food. Over 800 million people in developing countries lack adequate food. Food security indicators measure availability, access, and utilization. The FAO reported that in 2010-2012, almost 870 million people were undernourished, with higher rates in developing countries. India has added 30 million hungry people since the 1990s and 46% of children are underweight. The document examines food security challenges and measures in developing economies and the US, and initiatives by UN agencies to improve global food security.
Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

The document provides an overview of the past 10 years of research from the Global Food Security Index (GFSI). Some key findings over the past decade include:
- GFSI scores across all nations peaked in 2019 before dropping in recent years due to COVID-19, conflict, and climate impacts.
- Affordability and natural resources/resilience have fallen the most, dragging down overall scores.
- Countries that score highly do so by addressing affordability, safety nets, research/development, and adaptation policies across all four GFSI pillars of food security.
- To make progress on ending hunger by 2030, more action is needed to build sustainable, equitable and resilient food systems through innovation, investment, and

Food insecurity remains a global challenge. Achieving food security requires accurately measuring the incidence, nature, and causes of food insecurity. This allows for prioritizing interventions and targeting assistance. Conceptual frameworks help analyze the complex underlying causes of food insecurity and guide appropriate responses. Understanding factors like availability, access, utilization, and stability is key to selecting interventions to address problems like inadequate food, care practices, or health environments.
The document summarizes the Global Hunger Index (GHI), which measures and tracks hunger globally using three indicators: undernourishment, child underweight, and child mortality. The GHI ranks countries on a 100-point scale based on these indicators. In 2012, 20 countries had alarming or extremely alarming hunger levels according to the GHI. While global hunger has declined since 1990 according to the GHI, it remains serious at a score of 14.7. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest hunger levels. The document also discusses how land, water, and energy scarcity pose challenges to ensuring sustainable food security.
The document discusses food security policies in Ghana over the past decade. It defines food security as access to sufficient nutritious food. A 2009 survey found that 34%, 10%, and 15% of people in Ghana's northern regions experienced food insecurity. To address this, Ghana implemented emergency measures like input subsidies during the 2007 global food crisis. It also pursued longer-term policies including the Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy, National Social Protection Strategy programs like LEAP and school feeding, and initiatives to boost domestic food production. However, the document concludes that more remains to be done to achieve food security goals.

The document is the 2014 Global Hunger Index report which analyzes hunger levels around the world. It finds that the global hunger level has declined 39% since 1990 but remains serious. It also reports that Africa south of the Sahara and South Asia have the highest hunger levels. The report calls for making elimination of hidden hunger due to micronutrient deficiencies a priority and for integrated, multi-sectoral approaches and increased accountability to further reduce world hunger.
The 2015 Global Hunger Index document reports that while tremendous progress has been made in reducing global hunger since 2000, severe hunger remains in many parts of the world, particularly countries affected by conflict. It finds that the level of hunger in developing countries has fallen by 27% since 2000 according to GHI scores, with 17 countries reducing scores by over 50%, yet 8 countries still have "alarming" hunger levels. It also notes that hunger levels in some of the poorest, conflict-affected countries cannot be fully assessed due to lack of data. Armed conflict is strongly associated with severe hunger, though hunger can also persist in peaceful countries. Further efforts are needed to reduce conflict and poverty to end hunger.

This document provides a literature review on the complex issue of malnutrition in Egypt. It finds that Egypt faces both undernutrition in the forms of stunting, wasting, and micronutrient deficiencies, as well as overnutrition issues like overweight, obesity, and related non-communicable diseases. Both forms of malnutrition sap Egypt's economy and hinder progress on nutrition targets. The simultaneous presence of multiple nutrition problems poses major human, economic, and policy challenges for Egypt.

This document provides an outline for a presentation on food security in Bangladesh. It begins with introductions of the teacher, Dr. Selina Ahmed, and the student, Shaikh Abdus Salam. The presentation outline defines food security, explains the four pillars of food security (availability, access, utilization, stability), and identifies challenges to food security in Bangladesh such as economic development and reducing natural disasters. It demonstrates issues around availability, access, and utilization of food and concludes that while Bangladesh may not achieve its food security goal by 2021, progress has been made in reducing hunger and malnutrition through efforts that should continue to focus on poverty reduction, food sufficiency, and disaster prevention.
Abstract
The paper investigates Nigeria’s attempt at improving food security using the agricultural promotion policy and Sustainable Development Goal 2. It situates the discussion via empirical and cross-national review that juxtaposes Nigeria with seven other countries. The study relied on secondary sources of data, which were textually analysed. It is observable from the review that food insecurity results from a plethora of factors, namely: poor funding of agriculture; top-bottom approach to policy formulation and implementation; inadequate appreciation of the role of science and technology; natural disasters; and human-induced afflictions such as insurgency, banditry and general security deficits within and across national borders. To ameliorate these, strategic planning; robust technology adoption/adaptation; resuscitation of agricultural co-operative societies and funding institutions operating at reduced or free-interest on loans to practising farmers are canvassed by this paper. Other suggestions proffered are capable of redressing food security deficits identified.

India has made progress toward reducing hunger and poverty but still faces high levels of malnutrition. Regional variations show high rates of underweight and stunted children in some areas. While agricultural production determines food availability and incomes, India's agriculture and nutrition policies have been disconnected. Agriculture policy has focused on major cereals rather than nutrient-rich crops, crowding out production of pulses. Nutrition policy through safety net programs has had unclear impacts on outcomes. To effectively address malnutrition, India needs a multidimensional, nutrition-sensitive approach leveraging agriculture, including diversifying crop production, focusing growth in high-malnutrition regions, coordinating strategy between ministries, and ensuring diverse foods in safety net programs.
The document provides an overview of the key challenges and opportunities for achieving food security in Asia. It discusses that (1) Asia's past poverty reduction was driven by agricultural growth supported by high-yielding varieties and infrastructure investments, (2) agriculture growth continues to be critical but attention and funding is declining, and (3) food security faces stresses from population growth, climate change, and natural disasters. It argues for filling knowledge gaps, scaling innovative solutions, and creating cooperative partnerships to address these challenges.
The document discusses food insecurity in South Africa and the city of Tshwane. While South Africa produces enough food, 14 million people still experience food insecurity due to poverty. In Tshwane, about 35% of the population of over 1 million people are food insecure. The document outlines strategies to address food insecurity through supporting small-scale agriculture, improving incomes and social services, disaster mitigation, and promoting nutrition. The key causes of food insecurity are identified as lack of access to food due to poverty, unemployment, and an inability to produce or purchase enough food.
This PhD thesis examines the impact of fluctuations in global agricultural commodity markets on future food security in Arab countries. The thesis is divided into three parts with multiple chapters. Part one provides an overview of global food consumption patterns and reasons for volatility in wheat, rice and maize markets. Part two analyzes agricultural characteristics and food security issues in Arab countries. Part three measures the impact of international food price changes on domestic prices and consumption in Arab countries, finding some countries more vulnerable. It recommends short-term policies like export restrictions and long-term policies to reduce dependence on imports by enhancing domestic agriculture.

This document provides an overview and analysis of the 2014 Global Food Security Index (GFSI) for the Asia & Pacific region. It finds that while Asia & Pacific scores lower on food security than other regions like North America and Europe, there is large diversity within the region. The top 5 countries in the region would rank 2nd globally, while some poorer countries face high food insecurity. Most countries improved slightly in food security from 2013-2014, though economic growth did not always correlate with improvements. Food prices and affordability affected country scores the most. The region shows both strengths like robust governance and challenges such as natural disasters and rising food prices.
The document presents findings from the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) and discusses threats to global food security. It finds that after several years of improvement, global food security declined over the past year due to factors like rising food prices and migration. Climate change and natural resource depletion further threaten food security by increasing exposure, sensitivity and reducing resilience. International collaboration is needed to address these challenges and work towards the UN's goal of ending hunger by 2030.

Food security in India and States: key challenges and policy option Premier Publishers
Condition of food security in India is gloomy and is similar to African countries. Both the supply side and demand side factors have their roles in the present condition of food security and undernourishment in India. This study supports that if agriculture production grows; increasing food prices has less bearing on low food security. Problem of food security in India is very much related to low demand. If demand of people can be improved, food security can be achieved. Disaggregated trend of food security shows that problem of food insecurity is high in poor states. Considering disaggregated level of food security, government has passed Food Security Bill in India. Our analysis points out that food security cannot be achieved in India without improving the level of overall agriculture production. Improving agricultural production is essential for ensuring long term food security and promoting poverty reduction. State level condition of storage capacity of food grains also points out that how a state like Bihar with low storage facility will manage to implement this Bill. Without identifying role of market, success of Food Security Bill and reduction of poverty is distant dream.
Food safety metrics relevant to low- and middle-income countriesILRI
This document summarizes the key findings of a working group on measuring food safety metrics in low- and middle-income countries. The working group identified several important research needs, including determining the multiple burdens of foodborne disease, understanding the impacts of export food rejections, developing risk analysis for domestic markets, improving food safety standards, and generating evidence-based rather than perception-based food safety practices. Currently, there is no consensus on food safety metrics and existing metrics are not widely applied in or suitable for the mass markets of LMICs. Greater collaboration between the food, health and agriculture sectors is needed to improve measures and metrics for food safety.
Enhancing the Nutrition Sensitivity of Agriculture and Food Systems: What Has Been Done, and What
Needs to be Done?
Stuart Gillespie, Senior Research Fellow, PHND, IFPRI, United Kingdom
Nutirtion as an input and outcome of resilience2020resilience
This document discusses integrating nutrition into resilience programming. It notes that many countries face high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, and that resilience efforts cannot succeed without also addressing nutrition. The document calls for making resilience programs more nutrition-sensitive by strengthening nutrition in policies and information systems, and by designing multi-sectoral prevention, preparedness and response efforts based on nutritional vulnerability analyses. Key actions include monitoring nutritional status indicators, integrating nutrition education into programs, and linking social protection to resilience and nutrition frameworks.
This document discusses including sustainable agriculture, food security, and nutrition in the post-2015 development framework. It argues that a comprehensive approach is needed to address these interrelated issues and eliminate hunger and poverty. Specifically, it recommends a goal with targets and indicators that: 1) measure progress on eradicating hunger; 2) measure sustainable food production, productivity, consumption, and systems focusing on smallholder farmers including women; and 3) measure improved nutrition outcomes. This integrated approach recognizes the linkages between agriculture, food systems, nutrition and development outcomes and is needed to sustainably address extreme poverty and hunger.
Sustainable Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition in the Post-2015 FrameworkDr Lendy Spires
This document discusses including sustainable agriculture, food security, and nutrition in the Post-2015 development framework. It argues that a comprehensive approach is needed to address these interlinked issues and eliminate hunger and poverty. The document proposes a goal with six targets and related indicators to measure progress in: 1) eliminating hunger, 2) increasing sustainable agricultural productivity, 3) improving environmental sustainability of agriculture, 4) increasing opportunities for smallholder farmers, 5) developing more sustainable food systems, and 6) promoting nutrition security and reducing stunting. The targets and indicators are designed to be ambitious but measurable and applicable globally to track progress towards ensuring food security, good nutrition, and sustainable development by 2030.
The document discusses nutritional surveillance, which involves ongoing data collection, analysis, and reporting on nutrition-relevant data to help decision-makers ensure interventions are based on good information. It describes two types of nutritional surveillance - active and passive - and explains their objectives include describing population nutritional status, analyzing associated factors, and monitoring/evaluating nutrition programs. Key indicators used in nutritional monitoring are also outlined, such as food production patterns, anthropometric measures in children, and micronutrient deficiency rates. The roles of early warning systems and how their data can inform decision-making are also summarized.
This document discusses assessing nutritional status and vulnerability at global, national, and local levels. It outlines how anthropometric measurements are used to evaluate nutritional status, especially for children, women, and adults. Key indicators like underweight, stunting, and wasting are defined. Large-scale surveys conducted by international organizations help assess nutrition, health, and living standards. Repeated small-scale surveys and participatory methods also monitor improvements. Identifying vulnerable groups and factors contributing to food insecurity helps design targeted nutrition programs. Options presented include improving livelihoods through credit, irrigation, agriculture, livestock, and ecotourism.

The document discusses USAID's nutrition approach, outlining its principles, components, target areas, and role of operating units. It provides context on the global burden of undernutrition and its causes. It then describes the recent shift in global and USAID nutrition strategies from vertical to integrated approaches, from under-fives targeting to the 1000-day window, from nutrient-specific to diet quality measures, from recuperative to preventive focus, and from health platforms to multi-sectoral delivery. It poses questions about reaching the 30% undernutrition reduction goal and delivering comprehensive nutrition interventions at scale through integrated frameworks.
WFP conducts food security analysis to identify food insecure populations and design appropriate assistance programs. This involves assessing who is vulnerable, where they live, why they are vulnerable, and how the situation may evolve. Analysis is based on household surveys, satellite data, and partnerships. It informs targeting of food aid, cash/voucher programs, and other interventions. WFP has 150 analysts worldwide who produce assessments, monitoring reports, and use tools like GIS to analyze vulnerabilities and map food insecurity.
