"This book analyzes various facers of economic reforms in South Asia and their implications for attaining food security. It shows how a concerted effort by governments, agencies, organizations, industries, and individuals - backed by adequate resources and changes in policies - can accelerate progress toward achieving sustainable food security for all. Focusing its attention on six nations: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, this timely resource examines possible future courses of action involving trade and new technological advances to improve agriculture-led development in the region. Numerous tables and figures clarify the region's current food situation."--Jacket.
