Written for academicians, policymakers, and students, this reference addresses fundamental questions about food security: the ability to physically and economically obtain basic food needs. The authors examine whether the food produced today will be hampered by climate change, food and fuel competition, or land use policy changes. The reference also analyzes and interprets current trends and emerging challenges to provide policymakers with the necessary information to ensure adequate responses at local and international levels. It highlights opportunities for problem solving through technology, management and international institutions. The book also includes a section on data collection, theory, and reliability.
Mark Gibson has always taken an interest in the way food has been approached, not just locally but also in the global context. There has been an elemental desire to understand more of the social, political and economic tectonics of food culture, particularly in relation to issues of food security. After training in the culinary arts, Mark remained in the industry for two decades before finally stepping into the academic world. He now lectures on many aspects related to food culture from governance to sustainability issues as well as keeping his hand in the kitchen. After completing his PhD on food security, Mark undertook to share his knowledge in the present book.
