本文从学术和政策导向两个角度回顾了粮食安全面临的主要挑战。在分析低收入和高收入社会实现粮食获取和供应的主要制约因素时，详细区分了技术和体制两个方面。在低收入经济体中，重点放在小规模农民的社会经济状况和业绩上，而在高收入经济体中，重点转向价格波动、市场稳定和食物浪费问题。在这两种情况下，还考虑了资源使用的生产率和效率。这项评估的目的是确定最适合满足日益增长的粮食需求的政策支持类型。提出了将机构协调和技术支助相结合的创新方案和政策，作为在区域和全球一级实现粮食安全目标的战略工具。
The present article reviews selected key challenges regarding food security from both an academic and policy-oriented angle. In the analysis of the main constraints to achieve food access and availability in low and high-income societies, a detailed distinction is made between technological and institutional aspects. In the case of low-income economies, the emphasis is placed on the socio-economic situation and performance of small-scale farmers while in high-income economies the focus is shifted towards issues of price volatility, market stability and food waste. In both scenarios, productivity and efficiency in the use of resources are also considered. The objective of this assessment is to identify the type of policy support which would be most suitable to fulfil the increasing food demand. Innovation programmes and policies which integrate institutional coordination and technical support are put forward as strategic tools in the achievement of food security goals at regional and global level.
