Reclaiming Food Security

By Michael S. Carolan

Book Overview

In this challenging work, the author argues that the goal of any food system should not simply be to provide the cheapest calories possible. A secure food system is one that affords people and nations - in both the present and future - the capabilities to prosper and lead long, happy, and healthy lives. The author introduces a new Food and Human Security Index in an original attempt to better measure and quantify the affording qualities of food systems.
