Pres. Ali launches book on global food security, offers solutions for the Caribbean

Achieving Global Food Security: The Caribbean Experience and Beyond

In a move to address global hunger, President Dr. Irfaan Ali released his latest book, “Achieving Global Food Security: The Caribbean Experience and Beyond,” at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford in England on Saturday.

The book provides a holistic overview of the causes and challenges surrounding food security both globally and in the Caribbean.

It explores a number of strategic policy recommendations to mitigate the issue.

In a time when the Caribbean is plagued with skyrocketing food and fertiliser prices and displaced labour, the book provides an innovative pathway to achieving freedom from hunger by capitalising on the region’s comparative advantages and potential for agricultural investment.

Published in collaboration with World Scientific Publishing, the book aims to be a valuable research resource for scholars and professionals pursuing knowledge and solutions on food security, international development, and Caribbean studies.

Guyanese are also encouraged to read the book, which includes a chapter highlighting ongoing and future initiatives in Guyana.

Renowned professor and UNESCO chair Amitav Acharya praised the book as a significant, necessary, and timely contribution to one of the most pressing global issues.

Interested buyers can purchase the book directly from the World Scientific Publishing website or on Amazon.
