    The Perilous Nature of Food Supplies: Natural Hazards, Social Vulnerability, and Disaster Resilience
    in Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development , January-February ,  2017
    Food security is a complex and intertwined problem of reliability, quantity, and affordability of nutritious food, including the costs of production. It is a problem in developing and developed nations alike, where deficits in the availability and quality of food lead to hunger and malnutrition, impairing the health of millions. The global interdependence of food supply chains is well known—when one part of the food production chain is affected (e.g., contamination, poor harvests, natural hazards, conflict) the consequences reverberate globally, with reductions in supply and increased prices. Moreover, global patterns of urbanization are fundamentally altering food systems and more significantly food preferences, which is also reducing the food security of the planet's 6.5 billion urban dwellers.
