Facilitating Effective Food Security Policy Reform

No 17, International Development Policy Syntheses from Department of Agricultural Economics, Michigan State University

Abstract: Many existing food security policies are based on incorrect information and conventional wisdom. Often, decision makers do not respond to research findings, especially when research does not directly address development needs. Thus a significant food security policy challenge is to discover how to increase both the demand for and the supply of policy-relevant research, and to encourage its use.
