Food Security is part of the Global Issues series, which is designed to be a first-stop resource for research on the key challenges facing the world today. Each volume contains three sections, beginning with an introduction that clearly defines the issue, followed by detailed case studies of the issue's impact in the United States and several other countries or regions. The second section draws together significant U.S. and international primary source documents, and the third section gathers useful research tools such as brief biographies, facts and figures, an annotated bibliography, and more. A foreword written by an expert in the field complements each volume. A chronology, glossary, and index provide additional help. Countries across the world are battling soaring food prices, food-borne illnesses, food shortages, and the detrimental effects of certain farming and manufacturing practices on health, nutrition, and the environment. Even in the United States, which historically has had an abundant food supply, increasing numbers of people are suffering from food insecurity, especially since the onset of the global financial crisis. Recent advances in agriculture and distribution have aided certain regions of the world, but these advances alone have proved not to be enough, as food insecurity remains at crisis levels globally. Food Security defines the titular term along with its three pillars: availability, access, and nutrition. A history of efforts by private and governmental groups to combat food insecurity is examined, followed by case studies of food security issues in the United States, Bangladesh, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, and Yemen.
