TL;DR: A multifaceted and linked global strategy is needed to ensure sustainable and equitable food security, different components of which are explored here.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a CGE model for developing countries, including household consumption of non-marketed (or "home") commodities, explicit treatment of transaction costs for commodities that enter the market sphere, and a separation between producing activities and commodities that permits any activity to produce multiple commodities and any commodity to be produced by multiple activities.

TL;DR: This study identifies where models disagree on the relative responses to climate shocks and highlights research activities needed to improve the representation of agricultural adaptation responses toClimate change.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a series of comparative studies of semi-industrial economies to understand the relationship between industrialization and economic growth and found that industrialization is a stage in the overall transformation that constitutes modern economic growth, and the similarities and differences in the experiences of nine industrializing economies.

TL;DR: The collected papers suggest that major advances in sustainable food production and availability can be achieved with the concerted application of current technologies (given sufficient political will), and the importance of investing in research sooner rather than later to enable the food system to cope with both known and unknown challenges in the coming decades.
