Food and Water Security
Food security is a fundamental human right. US AID defines food security as follows: "When all people at all times have both physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needs in order to lead a productive and healthy life". While there are indeed undernourished people in the industrialized countries, it can be safely stated that virtu ally all the undernourished people in the world are in developing countries. Economically-viable, ecologically-sustainable and people-participatory tech nologies are indeed available to realize hunger-free developing countries. The difficult part is for the developing countries to integrate combinations of technologies with policy interventions, economic instruments, and man agerial systems consistent with the agroclimatic, socioeconomic situations and food preferences in a country, or in some cases, parts of a country, The purpose of this volume is to place on the present selection of techno- socio-economic options, from among which the developing countries could choose combinations to suit their particular needs.
