Description
SAGE PUBLISHING Food Security 4 Volume Set by MARK ROSEGRANT
Following years of complacency about food security and agriculture, world food prices began increasing in 2000 and currently remain well above long run trends. Research into this phenomenon reveals a highly complex and cross-disciplinary issue, which is fast becoming a defining feature of our times. Fuelled by a huge variety of interlinking factors, including rapid or improved economic growth -particularly in Asia and Africa - as well water scarcity, climate change, and the increasing demand for biofuels, the renewed urgency due to recent high food prices has focused much-needed attention on the challenges of food security.The articles in these volumes address the major challenges and debates around food security and the policies, investments, and technologies required to reduce or eliminate food insecurity. Organised thematically, each volume is introduced by an essay that synthesizes the topics covered therein, including the following:Volume One: Food Demand, Access and UtilizationVolume Two: Producing Enough FoodVolume Three: Markets, Value Chains, Trade and Macroeconomic PolicyVolume Four: Food Policy for Food Security VOLUME ONE - FOOD DEMAND, ACCESS, AND UTILIZATIONPart One - What Is Food Security?An Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Food Security - Food and Agriculture OrganizationFood Security: Definition and Measurement - Per Pinstrup-AndersonSustainable Food and Nutrition Security (Summary) - United Nations System Standing Committee on NutritionPost-Green Revolution Food Systems and the Triple Burden of Malnutrition - Miguel Gomez, Christopher Barrett, Terri Raney et al.Part Two - Agricultural Transformation and Food SecurityThe Role of Agriculture in Economic Development - Bruce Johnston and John MellorAgriculture and Structural Transformation in Developing Countries: A Survey of Research - Bruce JohnstonA Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development - Christopher Barrett, Michael Carter and Peter TimmerPart Three - Income, Poverty, and Access to FoodIngredients of Famine Analysis: Availability and Entitlements - Amartya SenInequality as a Determinant of Malnutrition and Unemployment: Policy - Partha Dasgupta and Debraj RayThe Economics of Poverty Traps and Persistent Poverty: Empirical and Policy Implications - Christopher Barrett and Michael CarterLong Term Consequences of Early Childhood Malnutrition - Harold Alderman, John Hoddinott and Bill KinseyPart Four - The Changing Dynamics of Food Demand and Food SecurityFood Consumption Trends and Drivers - John KearneyAlternative Futures for World Cereal and Meat Consumption - Mark Rosegrant, Nancy Leach and Roberta GerpacioMaternal and Child Undernutrition: Global and Regional Exposures and Health Consequences - Robert Black, Lindsay Allen, Zulfiqar Bhutta, et al.The Global Epidemic of Obesity: An Overview - Benjamin CaballeroVOLUME TWO - PRODUCING ENOUGH FOODPart One - Sources of Agricultural GrowthInternational Productivity Patterns: Accounting for Input Quality, Infrastructure, and Research - Barbara Craig, Philip Pardey and Johannes RoseboomGovernment Spending, Growth and Poverty in Rural India - Shengeen Fan, Peter Hazell and Sukhadeo ThoratAssessing the Impact of the Green Revolution, 1960 to 2000 - Robert Evenson and Doug GollinThe Asian Green Revolution - Peter HazellPaying for Prosperity: How and Why to Invest in Agricultural Research and Development in Africa - William MastersPart Two - Water, Land, and Climate ChangeWater for Agriculture: Maintaining Food Security under Growing Scarcity - Mark Rosegrant, Claudia Ringler and Tingju ZhuInvesting in Water for Food, Ecosystems, and Livelihoods: An Overview of the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture - Charlotte de Fraiture, David Molden and Dennis WichelnsRevisiting the Commons: Local lessons, Global Challenges - Elinor Ostrom, Joanna Burger, Christopher Field et al.Land Tenure and Agricultural Productivity in Africa: A Comparative Analysis of the Economics Literature and Recent Policy Strategies and Reforms - Frank PlaceClimate Change Impacts on Global Food Security - Tim Wheeler and Joachim von BraunPart Three - Sustainable Food Production and Consumption for the FutureSustainable Intensification in Agriculture: Premises and Policies - Tara Garnett, Charles Godfray et al.Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People - Charles Godfray, John Beddington, Ian Crute et al.Livestock Production: Recent Trends, Future Prospects - Philip ThorntonIntensive Food Systems in Asia: Can the Degradation Problems Be Reversed?
