Synopsis

In "A Small Country Food Security," Carlos Alberto Itza unravels the complex paradox of a small, resource-rich nation struggling to feed itself. The book exposes how insidious external pressures push such nations towards becoming mere suppliers of cheap raw materials for powerful global economies, creating a "Raw Material Trap." This dependence erodes local food sovereignty, leaving the nation vulnerable to volatile global markets and the whims of distant industries, ultimately hindering its ability to achieve genuine food security despite its natural abundance.
