Resumen
Descripción
This paper reviews the prospects for
long-term food security in Asia, where a significant number
of malnourished individuals still live after decades of
mixed progress. Evidence shows that poverty reduction on its
own will not do the job of eradicating hunger, nor will only
increased food production. The region's contribution to
high and volatile international food prices is well known,
but Asia's potential contributions toward future
decreased price uncertainty are much less cited. The
changing composition of future food demand in the region
will depend on the extent to which poverty reduction
effectively leads to middle class expansion, which remains unclear.
