Freeing from hunger will require more better-targeted investments, innovations, policy actions, driven by a keen understanding dynamic forces that shape factors affecting people's access links nutrition.

In this article, we examine the links among food insecurity, globalization and conflict. We summarize critically evaluate existing studies on conflict as a cause of insecurity; insecurity conflict; relationship between globalization. Next, analyze country-level, historical contexts that implicate export crops, e.g. coffee cotton, in triggering perpetuating These cases suggest it is not cropping per se, but production trade structures, financial policy determine peaceful or belligerent...

It employs a “food wars” framing to understand nutritional and political‐conflict status in countries experiencing protracted conflict‐related food crises recent civil‐war situations that involve insecurity. includes typologies of conflict (pre‐conflict, active‐conflict, post‐conflict) insecurity (food shortage, poverty, deprivation). also incorporates related water‐sanitation‐and‐health...
