Resumen
Descripción
The paradoxical nature of Asia’s current food situation makes it doubly challenging to create effective and long-term strategies for alleviating poverty and malnutrition in the region. On the one hand, life has improved for many Asians, with significant gains made in the past 30 years in per capita income and calorie consumption, leading many increasingly affluent Asians to diversify their diets and create an explosion in the demand for livestock products, fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, and feedgrains. On the other hand, some 800 million Asians still live in poverty and 90 million preschool children remain malnourished.
