Food Scurity and Nutrition: The Drivers of Change

Food and Agricultural Organization [FAO]

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This section looks at a range of factors that enable progress towards food security and nutrition goals. The list of factors – economic growth, agricultural productivity growth, markets (including international trade) and social protection – is by no means exhaustive. The section also shows how being in a protracted crisis has deleterious effects on progress in hunger reduction. Preliminary quantitative analysis, using data from the period 1992–2013, has helped identify these drivers of change and their relative importance in shaping progress against hunger
