Description
Book SynopsisMahbub ul Haq Centre's report on Food Security in South Asia is a valuable contribution towards the conceptual and empirical analysis of food security in South Asia. The high food and fuel inflation, and rising unemployment have put half a billion South Asians into poverty, and millions of children and women malnourished. The Report argues that the economic growth of the region must translate into people's wellbeing through ensuring their food security.
