Скачать или смотреть The Power of Global Food Security

Join us at CSIS to look at how global food security ties directly to U.S. national security and economic interests. Fragile states are often the most food insecure. Political instability and conflict are often fueled by food-insecure populations with the resulting unrest further driving both trends. Price volatility can spark disorder among urban communities unable to afford basic staples. In addition, the risks of economic and food insecurity in the world are likely to escalate with the impacts of climate change and urbanization. Experts will examine the linkages between food insecurity and political stability, and discuss how soft power investments in foreign aid are important to our national security objectives.
