Food Security and Sustainable Development
About the Food Security blog

Welcome to the GDRC's resource pages on Food Security. This is an output of the Global Development Research Center (GDRC)'s research programme on Sustainable Development. GDRC is a non-profit policy think-tank located in Kobe, Japan.

GDRC adopted this theme for exploration in order to highlight the importance of accessibility, adequacy, affordability and equity of food resources for our daily life. From the perspective of cities and urbanization, food security is also an important issue for healthy neighbourhoods/communities, and in reducing risk and uncertainty.

The blog aims to work towards greater awareness, informed choices and policy development on food security issues.
