Food security is an important component of human welfare, and it can act as an indicator of a region's development. \u003cbr\u003e This book addresses the roles of trade, policy development, and economic cooperation in creating sustainable food security in the West African region. The largely micro-level analysis is conducted on empirical data from the household where decisions on production and consumption take place. Food security is discussed in terms of its component parts, namely: availability of food (production and trade), its accessibility (incomes and poverty status), and its utilisation (health and nutrition).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282872066199,"sku":"9781461377979","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461377979.webp?v=1769303432","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sustainable-food-security-in-west-africa-9781461377979","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
