Food Security and Poverty Reduction: Challenges and Opportunities for Farmers

Agriculture refers to the science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. Carrying out agricultural activities in an efficient way can help a country meet or exceed its food security needs as well as in alleviating poverty. Farming can potentially play an important role in driving agricultural productivity. Poverty and hunger pose significant challenges in existing times. Food security refers to a situation that exists when all people have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. An increase in agriculture productivity not only increases food security, but also opens a plethora of employment opportunities outside of agriculture sector such as transport, agroprocessing, marketing, distribution and retail. The research works included in this book on food security and poverty reduction are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on this topic.
