As part of its series on world hunger, the WFP announced a new series which will focus on the role of functioning food markets in reducing hunger.
This volume analyses the workings of markets in order to identify the sources of market failures in addressing hunger and malnutrition, and to highlight the ways in which they can be improved. The report sets out the ways in which policy formulation and program design can build on the strengths of markets to prevent possible negative effects, important reading for all those involved in the fight against world hunger.
