Food Politics and Governance in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Abstract

This panel explores the challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) regarding food and nutrition security, particularly in the face of accelerating climate change, rapid urbanisation, and complex global agricultural trade environment. The included paper contributions offer diverse insights into these issues, examining the influence of political structures on LMICs' food and nutrition security policies, evaluating the effectiveness of different governance models in addressing nutrition challenges, and exploring strategies employed by LMICs to mitigate the impact of climate change on agricultural production. Building on new theoretical frameworks and drawing on original empirical data, these contributions will enrich our understanding of the multifaceted dimensions inherent in global food and nutrition security and sustainable development studies.
