Food security policy in a stochastic world

No 43664, CUDARE Working Papers from University of California, Berkeley, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics

Abstract: Food security may be increased by variance-reducing strategies, by food aid, or by development strategies. This paper uses a Korea CGE model, subjected to random fluctuation in world-prices and domestic food productivity, to evaluate these policies. We find that poverty-reducing development strategies are the most effective food-security strategies.
