vii. - Bibliogr
Human-kind and ecological systems are currently facing one of the toughest challenges:
how to feed more billions of people in the future within the perspective of climate
change, energy shortages, economic crises and growing competition for the use of renewable
and non renewable resources. This challenge is even more crucial given that we have
not yet come close to achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving the number
of people living in extreme poverty and hunger. Scientists and relevant stakeholders
are now voicing a clear message: that multiple challenges the world is facing require
innovative, multifaceted, science-based, technological, economic and political approaches
in theoretical thinking, decision making and action. With this background central
to survival and well-being, the purpose of this volume is to formulate and promote
relevant theoretical analysis and policy recommendations. The major perspective of
this publication is that paradigm and policy shifts at all levels are needed urgently.
This is based on the evidence that agriculture in the 21st century will be undergoing
significant demands, arising largely from the need to increase the global food enterprise,
while adjusting and contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Global
Food Insecurity aims at providing structure to effect achievement of this critically
needed roadmap
