Tackling the Nutrition Challenge: A food systems approach

Jomo Kwame Sundaram

Development, 2014, vol. 57, issue 2, 141-146

Abstract: Experience shows that special government efforts are needed to achieve rapid progress in the eradication of hunger, malnutrition and undernutrition. Reviewing how different countries have responded to the food security challenges they face, three main priority areas for public interventions stand out: social protection; raising the net incomes of small-scale agricultural producers; and using special instruments to address nutritional deficiencies in mothers and children under five years of age.
