Why is food insecurity rising in mountains?08.06.2016There are many interrelated factors behind this troubling trend, explains Andrew Taber of The Mountain Institute, referring to data revealed by “Mapping the Vulnerability of Mountain Peoples to Food Insecurity”, a study conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization in collaboration with the Mountain Partnership Secretariat. According to a blog post, written by Taber in The New Security Beat, the reasons have to do with: growing populations, youth exodus, chronic invisibility, environmental change and neglect by the development community.
