This book aims to establish a linkage between food security and WTO (World Trade Organization) negotiations on agriculture. It particularly examines the adequacy of the Marrakech Decisions on the Net Food Importing Developing Countries (NFIDCs) in ensuring food security of the hungry people across the globe. With these objectives, it clarifies the basic concepts of food security and highlights the current food security scenario across the globe. It also explains the main determinants of food demand & Supply and illustrates the global trend of food price increases and their impacts on the food security. Along with this, it attempts to link food security with global food aid deliveries. In this context, it elaborates the socio-economic profiles of the NFIDCs, particularly the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) among them to illustrate their vulnerability in ensuring food security of their vast majority population. It describes the current food security scenario of Bangladesh and SAARC countries. It then critically analyzes the WTO negotiations on agriculture & the Decision on NFIDCs and identifies their shortcomings in supplying adequate food to the food insecure people. Finally, it provides a set of recommendations with a view to developing future course of modalities on NFIDCs in particular, the LDCs, in ensuring food security in WTO negotiations.
