IFPRI Perspectives on Food Security Sample Clauses

IFPRI Perspectives on Food Security. A Paradigm Shift “In spite of decades of dedicated effort and billions of dollars in aid, hunger still stalks the world. Why is hunger so entrenched? And what is the Movement doing about it?” “…After recognizing the limits of food aid, many humanitarian agencies are moving to a more holistic, longer-term approach of ensuring households can meet their basic economic needs. The aim is to strengthen people’s resilience to food insecurity by building on their existing healthy coping mechanisms and resources. The key parts of the new approach—a paradigm shift away from “truck and xxxxx” [added for emphasis]—include early warning systems, integrating food security into other programs and using agricultural aid and training to help people fend for themselves.”
