About this title

Synopsis

Food Insecurity remains a challenge in many areas of the world. Although impressive progress was achieved in some countries, in many others, especially in Africa and in South Asia vulnerability to food insecurity remains high. The goal of a complete food security where “all people at all times have sufficient, nutritious and safe food which they need for a healthy life” is remains an ambition under the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 2, to be achieved by 2030. Continuous and successful structural transformation of agriculture and the rural areas in developing countries is vital to achieve this goal. In Asia, a lot will depend on how the two big players, China and India, with over 40 % of the world population continue to progress.

Against this background the World Food Policy Journal in 2017 has organized a “China-India Food Policy Conference that has brought together a number of outstanding scholars in a two-day meeting in Bangkok. Out of the presentations and discussions ten highly informative and interesting policy papers have emerged which are presented in this double volume of the WFP.
