Isi artikel

Food is a basic human right. It is also a lens through which we can observe and measure progress in health as well as the protection of human dignity. In 2000, the United Nations (UN) agreed to eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Th e fi rst goal (MDG 1) was the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger by 2015. To achieve the food security dividend, as we have called it, we need to think about the world as it is in terms of hungry people and about what is most needed if global food security is to be achieved. Th is chapter examines the issue of food security and global health. Th e link between the two is obvious – if we achieved food security for all, we would advance the prospects of global health for all, arguably beyond any other single intervention.
