Description: In many countries, prolonged conflicts result in food emergencies that recur over years or even decades. This book provides examples of opportunities to bridge the gap between emergency relief and longer term developmental approaches, which can help us rethink how to support food security in protracted crises.

'A must read book for humanitarian and development professionals working in protracted crisis settings. This book marries sound analysis of the context and drivers of food insecurity in protracted crisis settings with useful case studies fromt he most important problem areas in Africa.'Dr Nancy Mock, Associate Professor, and head of the Interdepartmental Program in Complex Emergency and Disaster Studies at Tulane University, USA.
