"...this is an impressive achievement and needs to be on the bookshelf of any serious food policy analyst." - C. Peter Timmer, Economic Record

"Overall the book is a good read and a useful reference for those interested in understanding various intervention strategies that could accelerate the pace of reducing hunger and undernutrition. The strength of the book is that it describes not only the challenges in combating malnutrition, but also the opportunities and the appropriate intervention strategies that will condition success in achieving food security in the future." - Muhammad Masood Azeem, University of Western Australia
