Economic and Social Aspects of Food Security

Original language description

Food security is defined as a condition where the physical and economic access to sufficient quantities of healthy and nutritionally balanced food is provided that meets the nutritional needs and preferences of the individual for his active and healthy life. Even though the definition may seem that the problem of food security is completely bound to developing countries, it is important to realize that the problem of hidden hunger is also inherent to developed countries. The world population in the 21st century is facing a number of challenges to civilization - or global issues, whereas the possibility of ensuring food security across states would solve one fundamental problem. The monograph “Economic and social aspects of food security” captures these particularissues in a broader context and coherence. The book is divided into three interrelated thematic areas. In the first section food security is theoretically defined and the opening chapters of the book thus form the entrance to the specialized terminology related to the issue. This section also describes various factors affecting food security. The second section shows the application of food security conditions in global world in the context of sustainable development. It also provides an analysis of food security strategies and food self-sufficiency of the European Union and of the Czech Republic. The third section is then completely focused on case studies aimed to food security. There are described physical accessibility of food, necessary amount of basic food types for the Czech population and food security management. The book is intended for professionals who deal with the above issues.
