Food Security: Cross-Country Policies and Experiences by Edited by Ranita Nagar - 2016

New Century Publications, 2016. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Citing food security as a mainstay of social security, bringing stability to people’s lives, Nagar’s book provides comparative, critical analysis of policies and programs both developed and developing. She describes three elements of food security--availability, accessibility, and suitability--noting that poverty, increased food consumption, land degradation, and change foment food insecurity. Food security is closely related to the development of technologies for increasing agriculture outputs through process innovations for land saving and water use. The question is how to develop and deploy new agro-biotechnology tools and precision agriculture for increasing the output of the agriculture sector in a country. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
