  • Food security is a global concern, and it seems fitting that scholars at The Asia Foundation would be interested in such a pressing international development and policy issue. This paper was released in October 2010, and it looks at the "challenges, opportunities, and likely action points for achieving shared food security." The paper was authored by C. Peter Timmer, and it was commissioned to coincide with a major conference, "Food for All: Investment Forum for Food Security in Asia and the Pacific". The paper is based on a set of remarks given at the conference, and it includes a framework for understanding food security and a helpful section on the changing role of rice in Asia. -- The Scout Report [KMG] (February 25, 2011 | Volume 17, Number 8

(Watch Video; Read Transcrip) -- Few people reflect and report more astutely on the state of American food production and consumption than Michael Pollan. Beginning with his fascination in plant cultivation, THE BOTANY OF DESIRE, Pollan has become a mixture of reporter and prophet, documenting the state of American food and warning of the consequences if we don't change our ways.
