Food self-sufficiency and international trade: a false dichotomy?
In the wake of the food crisis that brought higher and more volatile food prices, many countries expressed increased interest in pursuing policies to bolster their levels of food self-sufficiency. At the same time, there has also been widespread critique of policies designed to support food self-sufficiency, on the grounds that they are inefficient and can disrupt trade. The aims of this Note are to clarify the terminology and definitions associated with the concept of food self-sufficiency, to provide some historical context regarding the application of policies that support this objective, and to outline the debates surrounding those policies.
