      abstract = {While economic growth has lifted more people from poverty  than in any prior period, world market shocks of the 1970s  and 1980s have caused a massive realignment in country  policies, and future growth in population and income are  expected to place heavy burdens on world resources.   Recently, it has been suggested that a food crisis may be  forthcoming as food production per capita has stagnated,  risking a reversal of the long-term decline in the real  price of food.  This paper focuses on food security in this  context, and concludes that a rise in the real price of  food is likely, but not of a magnitude to create a food  crisis.  Nevertheless, those already in poverty may be  placed at additional risk of nutritional deprivation.   Policies for alleviating this possibility are available,  but they entail more than just increasing food production.},
