Food and nutrition security, recognized by the availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability of food resources, have emerged as central themes in the agro-food sector. In many countries worldwide, diverse forms of malnutrition coexist, including child undernutrition, anemia among women, and adult obesity. At the same time, the pervasive issue of the triple burden of malnutrition, encompassing undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiency, remains prevalent.

Food Security and Nutrition delves into comprehensive and context-specific strategies to address food security challenges. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition security as a fundamental aspect and examines the implications of food content on food and nutrition security policies. By employing agricultural, policy, nutritional, geographic, and sustainability lenses, Food Security and Nutrition offers valuable insights into these complex issues. It serves as a valuable resource for food scientists, nutrition researchers, policy makers, investors, and other decision-makers engaged in addressing food insecurity on a global scale.
