Abstract: | Despite improvements in the world food predicament, the underlying causes of food crises have not disappeared. The aim of this article is to improve understanding of food security problems in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and to assess the relative merits of alternative national and international intervention schemes. The article includes discussion of the concept of ‘food security’, policies that can be undertaken at the national level, a quantitative assessment of national food insecurity for a sample of LDCs, and an examination of the proposed international policies to enhance food security in food-deficit countries. |
