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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-12-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461377979\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461377979\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6105-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 307\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358770131084,"sku":"9781461377979","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461377979.jpg?v=1755113843","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461377979","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
