Food security and the crisis of the new millennium

Focusing on global challenges in the new millennium, this seminar paper examines the food price crisis, financial and economic turmoil, and ecological issues, particularly their severe impacts on regions like South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights how these crises threaten food security, exacerbate poverty, and increase inequality, making the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) more elusive. The analysis underscores the urgency of addressing these developments as both a concern and a potential catalyst for change.
