Food Security in the Sudan: The Need for a Regional Approach

Abstract: Abstract Food security is defined by the World Bank as ‘access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life’. Usually a distinction is made between chronic and transitory food insecurity (World Bank, 1986). Chronic food insecurity is widely spread across the Sudanese population given the high rates of malnutrition. Particularly poor rural families with no access to good-quality land are the main group at risk, followed by the urban poor (ISS, 1989b, p. 367).
