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 and its measurement in egyptwalled ashwah
- By 2050, the world will need to feed around 9 billion people, making food security a major global challenge. Many developing countries, especially in Africa, are net food importers and suffer from food insecurity.
- Egypt faces high rates of poverty, unemployment, and food insecurity. Around 17% of Egyptians experienced food insecurity in 2011. Child stunting rates in Egypt are above the regional average.
- Food insecurity in Egypt can be seen as mainly an economic access problem, as there is a high correlation between poverty and food insecurity. 74% of chronically food insecure households live in the poorest Egyptian region of Rural Upper Egypt.
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.

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.
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.
- Global food prices spiked in 2008, with cereal prices reaching 2.8 times higher than in 2000. While prices declined somewhat after 2008, they remained volatile and high.
- The rapid rise in global food prices had devastating social impacts, including food riots and protests in many countries as well as increasing the number of people living in poverty and suffering from hunger. An estimated 44 million people were driven into poverty by higher food prices.
- This chapter aims to examine trends in food prices, social impacts on the poor, underlying causes of the global food crisis, and policy options for governments to address the ongoing issues related to high and volatile food prices.
Nutrition Innovation Lab (2015) Egypt Literature Review Final (Feb 2016Ashish Pokharel
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.
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 document summarizes the key points of a research paper on measuring the impact of fluctuations in global agricultural markets on food security in Arab countries. The research included two econometric models to estimate the effect of international food price changes. The results showed that Arab countries are vulnerable to volatility in international cereal prices and high food price transmission can negatively impact food security. The research recommended both short-term policies like price controls and long-term policies to boost domestic agriculture as ways for Arab countries to mitigate risks from global market fluctuations.
AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD SECURITY STATISTICS IN UGANDA Johan Lorenzen
UBOS collects agricultural and food security data through various surveys and censuses to analyze Uganda's food security situation. This includes data on crop and livestock production, prices, sales, and household food consumption collected through censuses, sample surveys, and permanent data collection systems. This data is used by the IPC National Working Group to assess food security, classify areas by phase, and develop policy recommendations. While over half of households experience seasonal food shortages, the data shows differences in impacts and coping strategies across regions.
Beyond the Arab Awakening:Policies and Investments for Poverty Reduction and...IFPRIMENA
This document discusses food security challenges in Arab countries and policies to address them. It finds that while some official data showed promising economic growth, many people remained dissatisfied with their standard of living due to underestimated poverty and inequality. Agriculture growth was not always pro-poor. The document advocates for country-specific strategies like Yemen's National Food Security Strategy developed with IFPRI, which assesses food insecurity levels and outlines targeted actions. It also discusses IFPRI's work providing data and analysis to support evidence-based decision making in areas like water resources, climate impacts, and building resilience in the region.

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.
How far has Africa gone in achieving the zero hunger target? Evidence from Ni...Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin
Sustainable Development Goal 2 is hinged on achieving zero hunger, worldwide, by the year 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are faced with extreme hunger often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we review patterns of Global Hunger Index scores across Africa from 2000 to 2018 noting advances and setbacks in the fight against hunger in relation to the underlying causes of hunger in these nations, using Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, as a case study. We also review selected policies of the Nigerian government and development partners aimed at reducing hunger in Nigeria and proffer solutions that can help actualise the target of zero hunger by 2030.
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 document discusses food security challenges in the Near East and North Africa region. It notes that the region faces issues like limited water resources, high population growth, and dependence on food imports. To address these challenges, the document recommends a three pillar approach: 1) strengthening safety nets and access to resources, 2) enhancing domestic food supplies through investment, and 3) reducing market volatility through improved infrastructure and financial instruments. The global community has made reducing hunger a priority, and organizations like FAO are taking an integrated approach focused on sustainable resource management and nutrition to help food insecure regions.
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 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 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 discusses asynchronous replication of databases in large scale systems. It covers consistency criteria for replicated systems, asynchronous replication models including primary copy and update-everywhere, challenges of scaling replication across large systems, and limitations of current full replication techniques with respect to coordination overhead and data freshness at large scales. Examples of MySQL replication are provided and conclusions are presented.
The report discusses Australia's role in ensuring food security in Asia-Pacific over the next 15 years. It finds that growing populations and middle classes in countries like China and India will increase demand for imports of agricultural products. Australia has strong agricultural sectors and potential to be a key food exporter. However, its success depends on Asia's economic growth and policies around food self-sufficiency versus trade. The report models potential Asian demand for Australian exports in 2030 under different policy scenarios. It identifies opportunities for and challenges to Australia increasing food exports, including currency fluctuations and domestic policies.
MySQL Proxy. A powerful, flexible MySQL toolbox.Miguel Araújo
MySQL-Proxy is a software application that, as the name suggests, sits between your client and MySQL server(s) allowing you to monitor, analyse or transform that communication. It communicates over the network using the MySQL network protocol and as so, in its the most basic configuration, Proxy simply interposes itself between the server and clients, passing queries from the client to the server and its responses on the other way around. This opens the possibility of changing the communication packets when needed, allowing thus being used for multiple purposes being the most remarkable query analysis, query filtering and modification, load balancing, failover, query injection and pooling.
On this session I'll present and give you a global overview of MySQL-Proxy and the concepts behind it. Use-cases, technical overview and architecture will follow. And of course, everyone will want to see it working so that'll be included as well in parallel with detailed explanation on how you can use it to fulfill your needs.

This document compares SQL and NoSQL databases. SQL databases are relational and have been used widely for over 40 years, while NoSQL databases are newer and non-relational. Both have pros and cons depending on the use case. The document recommends choosing a database based on the specific problem being solved rather than generalizing about SQL vs NoSQL. It provides examples of when to use SQL databases, NoSQL databases, or column-oriented databases. The key message is that different database technologies excel in different situations.

Agricultural Innovation & Productivity for the 21st CenturyDuPont
In 2010, DuPont responded to the global food security challenge by convening a group of experts in global agriculture, development, science, policy and economics to form the Committee. Over the course of a year, the Committee met several times, beginning with a listening tour with farmers in Iowa, and including a week-long meeting in Africa with a di- verse group including farmers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and government leaders, among others. The Committee explored complex issues around meeting global food demand to provide recommendations on potential solutions, including how DuPont can play a unique and catalytic role in addressing the challenge ahead.
The Committee explored the issues through the lens of both the developed and devel- oping world, with farmers as its focus. Specifically, the Committee examined issues of farmer productivity, including technology and innovation; capacity building; infrastruc- ture needs; education; policy and regulatory challenges relating to markets and trade; intellectual property (IP); and environmental, economic and social sustainability.
The Committee commends the leadership, engagement and support of DuPont and its team during this process and looks forward to the company’s more specific responses to these recommendations. Set forth below in this Report is a summary of the key issues and findings of the Committee, and its recommendations for the agricultural community.
