[SOLVED] Global Food Security Issues

This assignment is an introduction to food security, defined by the UN as having continual physical and economic access to food. The Reveron and Mahoney-Norris chapter from 6.1 discussed the status of food security globally, and these readings present various aspects of the threat. The Messer and Cohen reading probes the relationship between food security, conflict, and the processes of globalization, while the World Food Programme study on Yemen provides a detailed examination of food security in a country. As you are reading, consider both the connection between food insecurity and other types of human security threats and the impacts of globalization on food security, particularly in the context of Yemen.
