Economic reforms and food security

de Suresh Chandra Babu, Ashok Gulati

"This book analyzes various facers of economic reforms in South Asia and their implications for attaining food security. It shows how a concerted effort by governments, agencies, organizations, industries, and individuals - backed by adequate resources and changes in policies - can accelerate progress toward achieving sustainable food security for all. Focusing its attention on six nations: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, this timely resource examines possible future courses of action involving trade and new technological advances to improve agriculture-led development in the region. Numerous tables and figures clarify the region's current food situation."--Jacket.
