Food Security in the Developing World

"In preparing for a mission to Somalia I was delighted to discover just the text that I needed on the concept and practice of food security. There seems to be nothing else readily available on the market, in spite of the fact that the term "food security" is used so widely in the international aid and development business. I found Dr. Ashley s comprehensive and detailed approach really helpful." --Dr. Alan J. Taylor, Director and Senior Consultant, Designers for Development Ltd., United Kingdom

"It is a very meticulous book ...particularly ...the emphasis on land tenure as a cause of food security. Very few books give it the importance it deserves as a basis of wealth creation." --James Breen, Agronomist and Consultant to FAO (1975-2015)

"Excellent, highly readable book and companion website, bringing alive a subject which could be boring if not written well. A great deal of information has been presented, much from the author's own experience in the field, which he has collated and presented in a style which holds reader interest." --Dr Perry Bosshart, Crop Production, Management and Research Consultant, California, USA
