Food Security and Islamic Ethics explores three overarching areas: the world response to the challenge of sustainable food security; the Islamic perspective on addressing food security issues; and concerns for the most vulnerable groups facing this crisis, including women, children, migrants and the displaced. Chapters present in-depth case studies from locations across the globe, including Africa, Asia and North America. Ultimately, the book addresses how Islamic ethics can and does inform policy and practice in order to secure adequate food and nutrition for populations in the Muslim world and Muslims in non-Muslim countries.
This incisive book is a crucial resource for students and academics working in Asian development, agricultural economics, food security and development studies more broadly. Pairing in-depth case studies with practical applications, it is also useful for think tank and NGO policymakers, alongside professionals specialising in food security and meeting the second Sustainable Development Goal: zero hunger.
