Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the main concerns related to food security and natural resource management in developing countries. It is intended to serve as an introduction to the subject for students and non-specialist practitioners. The paper summarizes a number of different strands in the literature on poverty, food insecurity, and natural resource degradation, as well as their causes. The paper summarizes some of the many studies that have sought to explain options to achieve sustainable food security and natural resource use. Throughout the paper, the problem of sustaining food security and natural resource use in developing countries is highlighted as a poverty problem, conditioned on and influenced by institutional, technological, demographic, ecological and economic factors and constraints. A focus is placed on sub-Saharan Africa. The main theme of the paper is that, in order to achieve sustainable food security and use of natural resources, developing countries need to address poverty and its root causes.
