According to the FAO, one person in three in sub-Saharan Africa suffers from malnutrition, and one in seven is in danger of dying. Most African countries no longer seem capable of ensuring that their people have access to sufficient food. Given the failure of past efforts the objectives of food security policies and their effectiveness have to be reconsidered. This book shows that the debate on food security policies has changed with the passage of time. The entitlement debate triggered by A. Sen had a major influence on this change but, the bearing of socio-economic structures on the food security of African households and their individual members are still not fully recognised.

This book reflects Professor Aboyade's thoughts and concerns about the development process, the failure of that process in Nigeria over nearly three decades, his modest attempts to explain the failure of development in Nigeria in particular and in Africa in general, and his humble suggestions for resolving the paradox of underdevelopment in the midst of abundant natural and human resources. Many of the works contained in this book have not appeared in print and it is therefore an attempt to make the writings accessible to a wider audience.
