Food Security Policy, Evaluation and Impact Assessment


Add your own review!

Overview

This book offers an essential, comprehensive, yet accessible reference of contemporary food security discourse and guides readers through the steps required for food security analysis. Food insecurity is a major obstacle to development and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It is a complex issue that cuts across traditional sectors in government and disciplines in academia. Understanding how multiple elements cause and influence food security is essential for policymakers, practitioners and scholars. This book demonstrates how evaluation can integrate the four elements of food security (availability, access, nutrition and resilience) and offers practical tools for policy and programme impact assessment to support evidence-based planning. Aimed at researchers, postgraduates and those undertaking professional development in food studies, agricultural economics, rural development, nutrition and public health, the book is key reading for those seeking to understand evidence-based food security analysis.

Reviews

"""The deadline for achieving Sustainable Development Goals is rapidly approaching. But we are not in track in achieving many goals, particularly SDG2 in ending hunger and malnutrition. This book contributed by many well-known scholars and practitioners is timely by brining state of the art knowledge to the development communities to take actions. Taking actions and scaling them up are essential to accelerate the progress."" Dr Shenggen Fan, Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington DC ""This book is written by a global leader who spans the worlds of academia, policy and programmes, excelling in each. Professor Sheryl Hendriks has produced a beautifully balanced book on the challenges of delivering food security and nutrition. The book highlights the many complexities of doing so but also the many opportunities and solutions to be found. It is a must read for all of those who need to understand the centrality of well-functioning food systems for sustainable development. "" Dr Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and 2018 World Food Prize Laureate ""This book comes at a time when Africa is rising, yet millions remain at the periphery of two decades of positive gains. Reflecting emerging transdisciplinary approaches to addressing the food security, the book provides innovative approaches to tackling Africa’s beleaguering food security challenges. It offers practical policy interventions and raises questions concerning developing consensus on Africa’s quest for a food secure continent. This book is a tremendous research and teaching resource for African food security professionals. Sheryl Hendriks, who has for two decades adorned the food security CAADP face across Africa, has unquestionably ignited new debates around food security in Africa."" Prof Richard M. Mkandawire PhD. Dr.hc, Director, Africa Secretariat Alliance for African Partnership (AAP) | Chairperson Malawi National Planning Commission ""Food security and nutrition security analysis and understanding is and continues to be a very complex field that challenges the world and particularly the vulnerable populations, Development and Humanitarian professionals. Therefore, the fight against hunger and related malnutrition demands a cadre of well-trained professionals, equipped to deal with shocks, stresses and resulting acute food shortages. This book aptly provides a wealth of analytical tools and insights that guide professionals committed to understanding the core elements of food insecurity and the contemporary realities related to inadequate food intake emergencies. Most important also to support countries to adapt policies and investments that advance sustainable food systems.""
