About the product

Recognizing that any attempt to reduce hunger requires a sound understanding of which people are affected, this publication discusses the difference between food shortage, food poverty and food deprivation. It examines how rules for food distribution operate under normal versus crisis conditions and discusses policies which are working as well as individuals, households and communities which are under-served. The publication also refines common thinking about the underlying causes of hunger by examining which people are most affected.
