      abstract = {While there is not one global definition of the term 'food  poverty,' the evidence from the chapters in this book  suggest food poverty can be seen from three perspectives:  1) the causes and constraints facing both individuals,  households, communities and policy makers, 2) constrained  choices or the 'lived experience' and 3) the health impacts  or outcomes. As a working definition of food poverty, this  approach suggests that where constraints are such that it  is not possible for individuals or households to consume a  nutritionally adequate diet, they could be considered to be  in food poverty. The modern food system has introduced new  complexities to food insecurity with the growth of  micro-nutrient inequalities. As a result of growing levels  of poverty and inequality, hunger and obesity are not being  faced by two different groups, but often by the same group.  While the developed world faces a problem with  overconsumption and chronic diseases, the developing world  is addressing the double burden of hunger and  over-consumption. Even in the developed world, nation  states are facing the rise of modern malnutrition, which  includes both over-consumption and the re-emergence of  hunger: over-consumption combined with austerity. The  volume undertakes a critical examination of food poverty  and food security by addressing topics such as tensions  over the role of the state, the movement towards rights and  responsibilities around food, and the rising tide of food  poverty. Auth ors also cover possible solutions at both  national and city state levels. The editors conclude with a  chapter that draws together the issues and locates  solutions within a food policy framework of the total food  system. These studies help reveal the complexities of food  insecurity within a global context, with the goal of  clarifying taken for granted assumptions in present  discourses.},
