Sinopsis:

The Rice Crisis: Markets, Policies, and Food Security edited by David Dawe offers a comprehensive analysis of the global rice market and the impact of the 2007-2008 food crisis on food security. The book delves into the causes of the rice price spike during this period, including market dynamics, export restrictions, and policy failures that exacerbated the crisis. Dawe explains how rice, a staple food for billions, became a symbol of vulnerability in global food systems. Through detailed economic analysis and case studies from key rice-producing and consuming countries, the book highlights the complexities of rice production, trade, and policy-making in the context of global food security.

Dawe also examines the long-term implications of the rice crisis on global hunger and poverty, urging governments to adopt more resilient and inclusive policies. He advocates for a balanced approach that includes better market regulation, investment in sustainable agricultural practices, and policies that protect vulnerable populations from future food crises. The book provides valuable insights for policymakers, economists, and researchers, showing how lessons learned from the rice crisis can shape more effective strategies to ensure food security and stabilize global food markets.
