Worldwide around 852 million people are chronically hungry due to extreme poverty, while up to 2 billion people lack food security intermittently due to varying degrees of poverty. The stages of food insecurity range from food secure situations to full-scale famine. The book studies major risks to world food security like water crisis, deforestation, and climate changes. It also looks at political and scientific efforts being made across the globe to ensure food for all. The book puts together international initiatives and organisations seeking to attain sustainable food security for all. It also studies advancements made in the field of agricultural science which have helped reign in world food shortage.
