Dear Colleague,
"Every man, woman and child has the inalienable right to be free from hunger and malnutrition" (World Food Conference, 1974). Today, over a third of a century later, around 1 billion people are hungry and about 2 billion are malnourished: they are the people who struggle daily to acquire enough food to survive, the people who are stunted physically and mentally by inadequate nutrition and the people who starve to death, including the 18,000 or so children who die every day. Clearly, we have failed to fulfil the aspirations of the World Food Conference of 1974.
The journal "Food Security: the science, sociology and economics of food production and access to food" sets out to address the reasons for this failure by analysing the constraints - physical, biological, economic and socio-political - which deny so many of the world's population access to a safe and nutritious diet and reporting research that has, as its objective, the overcoming of such constraints.
Yours Sincerely,
Richard Strange,
Editor-in-Chief,
Food Security
