“ Food Policy for Developing Countries is a comprehensive and deeply insightful guide that will be of great practical value to policymakers, analysts, and students of food policy. It is a worthy capstone contribution that reflects the wealth of knowledge built up overthe senior author’s long and eminent career, and it should serve as the seminal work onthis topic for years to come.”
— Benjamin Senauer, University of Minnesota, coauthor of Ending Hunger
in Our Lifetime: Food Security and Globalization
“ Per Pinstrup-Andersen and Derrill D. Watson II serve up a rich multidisciplinary diet
of insights into the incidence, causes, and cures for hunger in developing countries.
The exceptional insights dished out by these authors known for their long practical and
scholarly experience needs to be savored and digested by every student of food policy
for the poor.”
—Luther Tweeten, Emeritus Chaired Professor, The Ohio
State University
“ Per Pinstrup-Andersen and Derrill D. Watson II give us a comprehensive road mapfor understanding how governments and markets are shaping food outcomes in the
developing world. The book provides food policy analysts with a sound political economy foundation, international data on everything from sustainable farming to consumer food safety, and a complete set of recent and vivid stakeholder-based case studies. I have used the case studies to great advantage in my own classroom. At a moment when interest in global food policy is peaking, this is the book to read.”
