Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Food Needs and Availabilities, 1987/88: Fall Update This report presents two alternative measures of the overall food import requirements (commercial plus concessional) and the additional food needs of each country for and The status quo and nutrition-based assessments are based on two different sets of normative judgments and assumptions regarding the role of additional food and the considerations that might govern its use. The basic assumption underlying the status quo assessment is that additional food would be needed to prevent national food supplies, and hence total consumption, from falling below recent levels. Meeting status quo food needs would in principle stabilize national per capita use by filling shortfalls in domestic production and import capacity. The nutrition-based assessment addresses the continuing problem of undernutrition in many of the developing countries. The assumption is that additional food would be needed to close the gap between national food availabilities and an internationally accepted minimum nutritional standard. The nutrition-based estimates thus provide an aggregate measure of the nutritional gap, net of recipient countries' capacity to import food commercially. Calculation of zero nutrition-based food needs does not mean all citizens have a nutritionally adequate diet. In developing countries, poor nutrition is frequently the consequence of poor income distribution. Status quo food needs assessments are stabilized by the method of estimating annual base period per capita food use. While the base moves forward annually, it does not fluctuate as sharply as would a simple average. Base period food use is calculated as the mean of the most recent 4 years that deviate less than one standard deviation from the mean of the most recent 8 years of record. The method is explained in the Methodological Notes section of this report. The most current available weather, crop production, and financial data were employed in updating assessments. With new or changed crop information, production and additional food needs estimates change, sometimes sharply. The supplementary reports issued through the year provide users with assessments based on current weather and crop information. The assessments are based on projected agricultural production, trade and general economic trends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Food Needs and Availabilities, 1988/89: Summer This is the initial report in the World Food Needs and Availabilities series for Food needs assessments for update those published in the May 1988 report. The country coverage of the World Food Needs and Availabilities report has been reduced from 69 to 55. The 14 countries excluded contributed percent of status quo import requirements, and less than 5 percent of assessed status quo and per cent of nutrition-based additional food needs to meet consumption requirements. Excluded countries contributed less than 1 percent of cereal needs in sub-saharan Africa. For detailed analysis of the reduced country coverage, see Appendix A. Additional food needs are no longer analyzed for all countries in the initial issue of World Food Needs and Availabilities. Each quarterly report analyzes only those countries for which current crop information is available: 15 countries in the initial (summer), 17 in the fall and 23 in the winter. The spring issue will present final adjustments as needed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global food crisis is a stark reminder of the fragility of the global food system. The Global Food Crisis: Governance Challenges and Opportunities captures the debate about how to go forward and examines the implications of the crisis for food security in the world’s poorest countries, both for the global environment and for the global rules and institutions that govern food and agriculture. In this volume, policy-makers and scholars assess the causes and consequences of the most recent food price volatility and examine the associated governance challenges and opportunities, including short-term emergency responses, the ecological dimensions of the crisis, and the longer-term goal of building sustainable global food systems. The recommendations include vastly increasing public investment in small-farm agriculture; reforming global food aid and food research institutions; establishing fairer international agricultural trade rules; promoting sustainable agricultural methods; placing agriculture higher on the post-Kyoto climate change agenda; revamping biofuel policies; and enhancing international agricultural policy-making.

This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from World Food Needs and Availabilities, 1985: Update As a result of a Presidential Initiative in the summer of 1984, an Interagency Food Aid Analysis Working Group was established to provide the u.s. Government with the best possible food needs assessment for countries in the developing world. This update of World Food Needs and Availabilities. 1985 is prepared under the aegis of the interagency Working Group. An assessment of world food needs has serious implications for both donor and recipient countries. And it has the potential to influence the expenditure of many millions of dollars and affect the lives of many millions of people. It is. Therefore, very important that readers clearly understand the issues that the Food Needs and Availabilities report addresses. And those it does not. This report is not an allocation or programming document. But an objective analytical assessment of food needs. Allocation and programming decisions are made in other forums and consider factors in addition to the food needs assessed in this report.
