7. Food Security Portal
• The drastic rise in food prices over the past couple of years has
raised serious concerns about food and nutrition security across
the world. While a coordinated response is urgently needed at
international and regional levels, the effectiveness of country
level response is critical for responding to the crisis. Coherent
action is needed to help vulnerable populations cope with the
hikes in their food bills, to assist developing-country farmers to
swiftly respond to the opportunity posed by the rising demand
for their products, and to provide information for evidence based
related macro-economic policies. Since the implications of high
and volatile food prices have been radically different across
countries and population groups, the appropriate policy
responses, as well as their scale, prioritization, and
sequencing, must be developed and adapted to country-specific
needs and conditions.
• The goal of the International Food Policy Research Institute’s
“World Food Crisis” project is improved food security for the poor
in developing countries in the current food crisis and increased
resilience of their food systems against future crises. This project
will support the draft June 2008 UN comprehensive framework
for action on the global food crisis which focuses on meeting the
immediate needs arising from the crisis as well as building
resilience and contributing to longer-term global food security.
