One of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015. About 900 million people worldwide do not have enough to eat. Undernutrition has quite a number of negative effects on health.
Most of the root causes of hunger are found in structural shortcomings in the countries concerned. The problem of achieving food and nutrition security is often complex. Programmes and projects supporting increased food security must be aimed at the macro, meso and micro levels.
An InWEnt manual provides information on the political, economic, social and cultural principles of food security. Specialists may use the paperback as a work of reference. The publication is based on the constantly-updated material used in InWEnt’s training course on food security. The main focus is on the tools of evaluation and analysis of malnutrition and undernutrition, along with the corresponding intervention strategies. (orb)
