Reclaiming Food Security (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this challenging work, the author argues that the goal of any food system should not simply be to provide the cheapest calories possible. A secure food system is one that affords people and nations - in both the present and future - the capabilities to prosper and lead long, happy, and healthy lives. The author introduces a new Food and Human Security Index in an original attempt to better measure and quantify the affording qualities of food systems.
