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.

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 discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ and considers it a key fact of Christianity. It presents conspiracy theories that Jesus' body was stolen but rejects these, noting inconsistencies. Facts accepted include that Jesus lived, died, and earliest Christians believed he rose. It's argued Christianity would have died if enemies could have produced his body. The conclusion is that after eliminating impossible explanations, the improbable but inescapable truth is that Jesus did not stay dead.
1) Life expectancy has increased over 10 years in OECD countries since 1960 due to lower mortality rates. However, chronic diseases like diabetes are rising due to aging populations and lifestyle changes.
2) Health systems face challenges like obesity, lack of exercise among youth, and improving treatment for chronic conditions to reduce hospitalizations. Access to care issues also remain regarding cost and geographic barriers.
3) Health workforces have expanded in most OECD countries, but challenges with rural distribution of physicians and improving primary care for conditions like diabetes persist. Health spending varies widely between countries from 6-16% of GDP.

The document provides an overview and analysis of the 2014 Global Food Security Index (GFSI) for Central and South America. It finds that while the region produces enough food to feed itself and is a major exporter, nearly 47 million people still suffer from hunger. Food affordability has improved due to rising incomes offsetting food price inflation, but availability has declined due to high urbanization rates and corruption. Overall the region scores moderately on the GFSI, with strengths in nutritional standards and food safety policies but weaknesses in rapid urbanization and low agricultural innovation.

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.
Food and nutrition are cornerstones that affect and define the health of all people, rich and poor. The right to food is one of the most consistently mentioned items in international human rights documents
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.
This document provides a summary of key indicators related to global food security and nutrition in 2014. It begins with an introduction explaining the importance of monitoring indicators to better address malnutrition. The document then provides data on topics such as the economy, population, food prices, trade, undernutrition, overweight and obesity rates, dietary supplies, and consumption of various foods. Specific data shown include charts on the share of agriculture in national economies, value of agricultural production, food price changes, and prevalence of underweight and overweight populations globally.

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.

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 the need to measure food environments to better understand the relationship between agriculture, income, and nutrition outcomes. It defines food environment as the availability, affordability, convenience and desirability of various foods. While some tools exist to measure aspects of food environments, few can be applied internationally and none capture the affordability of a diverse, nutritious diet. Developing standardized, low-cost methods to objectively or subjectively measure the prices of different food groups would help agriculture-nutrition programs track impacts, design interventions, and evaluate outcomes by providing insights into how income affects diets through food environments.
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.
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.

DuPont Food Security Forum in Australia: Feeding Asia-PacificDuPont
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 concludes Australia must improve competitiveness through domestic policies to maximize opportunities from Asia's growing food import needs.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
