Abstract:
Early thinking clearly linked hunger and food insecurity to reduced food availability. Hunger, and particularly famine, appeared to be a result of an acute food shortage, which could be best addressed through steps to increase the production and distribution of food. Thinking on food security was thus largely seen in terms of increasing aggregate food supply, an idea that fitted well with the focus of contemporary agricultural development thinking, particularly in Asia during the era of the Green Revolution. Increasing availability through technology-based productivity improvements seemed to offer the world a way out of hunger, famine and food insecurity. Food accessibility for many people in the developing countries remains closely tied to local food production (FAO 2008a,b; Bruinsma 2009). The World Development Report 2008 stresses the importance of agriculture-led growth to increase incomes and reduce poverty and food insecurity in the least developed and developing countries.
