policy choices in a dynamic East and Southeast Asian setting Dawe, David Charles creator Jaffee, Steven Santos, Nuno Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations World Bank Group International Rice Research Institute text monographic x, 136 pages : color illustrations ; 21 cm "This compendium of policy notes is the result of cooperation between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, The World Bank and the International Rice Research Institute. Across Asia, rice is food for the largest segment of the human family. These policy notes seek to contribute to the ongoing policy dialogues and debates about rice and food security in East and Southeast Asia and to better informed decision- making. The aim of this compendium is to synthesize and reframe a large body of recent literature into a readily-accessible format for public officials, business leaders, members of civil society and other stakeholders in the policymaking process. While the focus of the publication is on the rice sector in East and Southeast Asia, many of its key findings and conclusions will also be of interest to policymakers addressing similar challenges associated with staple food in other regions."--Publisher website.
