Mergos, George, 1948- editor, Papanastassiou, Marina, editor, Mediterranean Center for Food Security and Sustainable Growth, organizer, Investment and Financing along the Agro-food Value Chain for Food Security and Sustainability (Workshop) (2015 : Athens, Greece)

Overview

\"This edited volume brings together contributions from experts on a range of food security issues, and examines them through a number of case studies. A Millennium Development goal and important policy concern, food security is experiencing renewed interest due to globalisation, which has led to population affluence, changing consumption, and production and trade patterns. The authors discuss how globalisation brings a new dimension to the discussion on public policy on food security, and consider the extent to which Global Value Chains (GVCs) dominate trade, investment and international agricultural markets. Food Security and Sustainability therefore sheds new light on the nexus of food security and globalization, as well as its implications for investment and financing in the agro-food sector. The volume draws on papers presented at the inaugural Workshop of the Mediterranean Center for Food Security and Sustainable Growth (MED-SEC), an international network of academics focusing on issues of development, sustainability and food security\" -- Provided by publisher.
