achievement of food security in the developing world through crop improvement. However, there have been other non-scientific factors involved in the implementation of the science in the development context. For certain examples such as the use of genetic science to increase the productivity in terms of yield increase of a crop (chapter 4), it could be argued that the non-scientific factors such as governance and investment are equally important as science for the achievement of food security as one would

The 2050 Food Security Challenge, is one of the most widely known and concerning issues of the 21st century due to its vast potential of impacting the entire earth. In an analysis titled “Solutions for a Cultivated Planet,” Foley et al. (2011) note that it as “one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century” (p. 1). In summary, the issue addresses the need for massive expansion of food production in order to accommodate our ever-growing population. By 2050, the world population is expected

Food is considered a basic right of man and an essential condition for a populace to be better nourished and healthy. According to Calhoun (2013), food security has become acknowledged as a significant health issue of the public. For instance in Canada, it is a social health determinant.

Introduction This task will look at what food security is as well its importance to a country, how food security helps the country maintain a sufficient amount of food for the country’s population.

Food security is defined as ‘when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life’ (The World Food Summit 1996, quoted by The World Health Organization 2015). Thus food insecurity is any situation that deviates from this definition. The research for this report was carried out in Todmorden, West Yorkshire and focused on Incredible Edible, a local food growing and campaigning group. The organisation is run by volunteers, and their aim

Global Food Security is an important resource in our day-to-day lives. Over the past century research has marked that the growth of food production is dramatically decreasing. A proportion of the world’s people are starving due to the lack of sufficient protein and energy from their diets. Many suffer from a form of micronutrient malnourishment. As a result many question “ how can the world double the availability of food? How best feed the world?” (de Landgrafft, 2014). Scientists who have confronted

Introduction This research is interested in identifying the nexus between women’ land rights and food security within West African states (ECOWAS states). The majority of ECOWAS countries sustain their economies through agriculture. In 2012, agriculture accounted for 35% of the region’s Gross Domestic Product (DGP), contributing $6 billion to its foreign trade and represented 16.1% of products and services exported from ECOWAS region (Salifou 2012). Agriculture also created 60% all jobs in the ECOWAS
