Food Security Sustainability: A Synthesis of the Current Concepts and Empirical Approaches for Meeting SDGs

Currently, food security is becoming a fundamental problem in the global macroeconomic dynamics for policymakers and governments in developing countries. Globally, food security offers challenges both from achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets and the welfare perspective of many poo...
