Developing countries are home to about 98% of the world's undernourished people. It is time to understand the dynamics of food security in these countries. Understanding three core issues in depth – food availability, accessibility and utilization – will help us to understand the phenomenon of food security and guide the policy process in developing countries.
Food Security in the Developing World brings together these three core food security issues in one volume. Chapters focus on food availability levels, and general policy practises to maintain food stocks in developing countries, as well as examining the status and economic significance of post-harvest losses, and the impact of climate change on agricultutal productivity. The dynamics of income and income redistribution in developing countries is examined, including real-world case studies taken from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and from Latin American countries. International organizations, governments, and stakeholders in the food industry are also encouraged to join hands to promote research, laws, awareness, and knowledge regarding food safety and sanitation so that the global burden of foodborne diseases around the world can be decreased.  
Food Security in the Developing World will help readers to think about the issue of food security, and shed light on policy issues in developing countries in a way that will help policy makers and researchers to further explore and develop this complex and multifaceted problem.
