A multidisciplinary group of scholars present the many faces and facets of global food insecurity---their symptoms, roots, and possible remedies---through personal stories of research and policy advising at local and global scales. The authors explore the interconnectedness of food security and energy, water, climate, health, and national security as well as its policy implications.
