Food Security Challenges
ስለዚህ ኢ-መጽሐፍ
It highlights the complex interplay between increasing food demand, driven by population growth and dietary shifts, and environmental constraints like climate change and water scarcity, which threaten agricultural productivity.
The book uniquely integrates environmental, social, and economic factors to provide a holistic understanding of food security, moving beyond simple solutions to advocate for systemic changes.
The book explores how unsustainable agricultural practices contribute to soil degradation, impacting long-term food production capabilities, and how socio-economic factors influence food access and affordability, particularly for vulnerable populations.
It emphasizes that addressing these challenges requires a shift towards sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic viability.
Beginning with core concepts, the book progresses through major demand drivers, environmental constraints (drawing on data from IPCC, FAO, and World Bank), socio-economic dimensions, and potential solutions.
Ultimately, the book argues that transformative changes are necessary across the entire food system, from production to consumption, to achieve global food security.
It connects environmental science, economics, and public policy and presents a comprehensive analysis of the food security challenge, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand and address this critical global issue.
