Havas, K. and Salman, M. (2011). Food security: its components and challenges.

International Journal. Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health, 4 (1), 4–11.

Karyn Havas and Mo Salman, Veterinarians from the Animal

Population Health Institution, at Colorado State University, have described

food security, its components and challenges by referring to various

sources like the World Health Organization (WHO), International Food

Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN), Global Foodborne Infections

Network (GFN), Center for Disease Control (CDC), US Food and Drug

Administration (USFDA), and US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Health and food are co-related as food is the only source of energy.

According to Barrett, (2010) a lack of access to adequate nutritional food

needs has left as many as one billion people on the planet (as citied in

Havas & Salman, 2011). The results to malnourished are a poor immune

system, hindered physical and mental development, lethargy and

emaciation. “Twenty countries in Africa, Asia, the Western Pacific, and

the Middle East account for four-fifths of global macro- and micronutrient

malnutrition”.(Havas & Salman, 2011); however, they rely too heavily on

the various organizations and governmental sources. Most of the article is

informative and statistical but they have not conveyed their own opinion;

however, the article provides various facts and figure from authenticating

sources regarding food security, its component, and challenges. This

information and sources can be further analyzed for discussing food

security.

Judy Deutsch, psychoanalyst, president of Science for Peace, and a

member of the CD Collective have describes food security as under siege

with regards to agro-industrial multinational corporations and natural

causes. She says that the world is full of delicious food. Different flavors

and dishes are available from different regions and cultures. Food prices

are also impacted by the speculating activities performed by financial

institutions and stock exchange through free trade provisions. The author

outlines that maker of “Third World” essentially were British Empire, it

was the period when Mike Davis in his article, “El Nino and Year One”,

described late Victorian’s origin of the current food system. Events

interacted with the colonial economy when droughts were caused by El

Nino. Climate change has drastically impacted agriculture within non

operatives economic system; However, Deutsch highly relies on other

authors and subject matter experts for the effects natural causes on food

security; She could have come up with some positive solutions to

overcome this challenges; However, Deutsch offers valuable sources for

the research article, because this article provides a crisp overview of food

security under siege both with manmade and natural causes.

Pandey, A. (2015). Food Security in India and States: key challenges and policy option. Journal

of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, 2(1), 12-21.

Aviral Pandey is the Assistant Professor of the Division of Economics at

A.N. Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna, Bihar. In this article he describes

how the production and distribution system of India has been challenged in

respect of food security and emphasizes that the status of food security needs to

be evaluated on the basis of sustainable availability, production, and the

distribution of food resources. Also, the author provides multiple reasons for

inefficient and mismanaged usage of resources to make India a food secured

place. The author touches on various aspects of food security in terms of

improved agricultural inputs. He analyzes crop productivity, soil fertility, and

fertilizer utility along with the distribution system. He also outlined the strengths

and shortfalls of India in terms of agricultural production and distribution. The

author with all study asserts that food security in India is only achievable with

development on technology and alternative ways for agronomics and distribution

resulting in increased agricultural productivity and reduced hunger and

malnutrition; however, he is focused on food security only in India; he could have

expanded his research geographically to analyze other nations food security

concerns; however, this scholarly article offers valuable analysis because his

major input in this study is the development of Public Distribution System across

the Indian states with improvement in the storage capacity, which grips the food

availability, access, and adoption.
