This imbalance highlights the need not only to focus on food production but also to implement successful food policies.In this new textbook intended to be used with the three volumes of Case Studies in Food Policy for Developing Countries (also from Cornell), the 2001 World Food Prize laureate Per Pinstrup-Andersen and his colleague Derrill D. Watson II analyze international food policies and discuss how such policies can and must address the many complex challenges that lie ahead in view of continued poverty, globalization, climate change, food price volatility, natural resource degradation, demographic and dietary transitions, and increasing interests in local and organic food production.Food Policy for Developing Countries offers a "social entrepreneurship" approach to food policy analysis. Calling on a wide variety of disciplines including economics, nutrition, sociology, anthropology, environmental science, medicine, and geography, the authors show how all elements in the food system function together. 606 $aFood supply$xGovernment policy$zDeveloping countries 606 $aNutrition policy$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFood security$zDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFood supply$xGovernment policy 615 0$aNutrition policy 615 0$aFood security 676 $a338.1/91724 700 $aPinstrup-Andersen$b Per$01040134 701 $aWatson$b Derrill D$01055643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458154403321 996 $aFood policy for developing countries$92489211 997 $aUNINA
