Book Description
Changes to multilateral trade policy should take account of their food security implications, but often this does not happen because trade negotiators and food security planners talk a different language and do not have access to appropriate data. This Working Paper explains the links between trade reform and food security, identifies the factors that need to be taken into account, and proposes an action plan for countries to establish appropriate data collection. Since the 1980s the concept of food security has shifted away from the national to the household level, and from the production of food towards access to food.
