Resumen
Descripción
The paper provides the first large-scale
survey-based evidence on the impact of the global food
crisis of 2007-08 using an indicator of self-assessed food
security from the Gallup World Poll. For the sampled
countries as a whole, this subjective indicator of food
security remained the same or even improved, seemingly owing
to a combination of strong economic growth and limited food
inflation in some of the most populous countries,
particularly India. However, these favorable global trends
mask divergent trends at the national and regional levels,
with a number of countries reporting substantial
deterioration in food security. The impacts of the global
crisis therefore appear to be highly context specific.
