Abstract: Abstract It is difficult to think of a more important issue than ensuring an adequate diet for a population.2 Food security is the subject of this chapter.3 Our focus is on aggregate food security in that we investigate Pakistan’s overall past, present and future capability of feeding its population. We also explore how national food availability translates into food security on an aggregate level and what bearing structural adjustment may have on food security.
