Trade reforms and food security. Conceptualizing the linkages
This publication draws on a wealth of existing and contemporary research that has been collated and analysed in the process of developing a conceptual framework for informing the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) research project on the relationship between trade and food security. In addition to setting out and explaining the framework, it introduces a range of related contemporary debates. These debates were reviewed in a set of commissioned papers presented at an Expert Consultation on Trade and Food Security: conceptualizing the Linkages held in Rome on 11 and 12 July 2002, upon which many of the chapters in this publication are based.
