Sustainable Food Security in West Africa

Sustainable Food Security in Central West Africa is a network of researchers and policy makers in Africa and the Netherlands that works to achieve food security in West Africa through research and policy dialogue. The members believe that food security will be enhanced if complementary features of coastal and sahelian countries in the region are exploited through trade, the harmonization of subregional policies, and general economic cooperation. Twelve articles discuss food security in terms of production and trade, income level and poverty status, and health and nutrition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
