Poverty and food

This entry focuses on two approaches to understanding poverty and its links to how people may be food secure. The first approach, the economic model, is described, and its implications are considered. The second, the capabilities approach, is similarly explained and elaborated. The entry also argues that the links between poverty and food security are as salient for high-income countries as those with lower incomes. The entry concludes by discussing future research and practice informed by the capabilities framing.
