Description: In many developing countries the persistent problem of hunger calls for policies that encompass not only production of food but also its distribution and its use by consumers. This book brings together the best of current thinking on food policy -- by specialists in agriculture, nutrition, management, public health, education, development, and other fields. In their introductory chapter and in the overviews of the six parts of the book, the editors place the individual contributions within the broad framework of food policy.
