... The second day of the workshop explored several of the policy, market, and governance approaches currently thought to be needed to resolve the constraints posed by natural resources to food availability at various scales: global, regional, and local. The third day engaged participants in consideration of what changes (in public policy and regulatory institutions, markets and other economic institutions dominated by the private sector, and social and cultural institutions)

... Who will have access to food depends on many factors including prices and incomes. Furthermore, household behavior, intra-household decision making processes and genderspecific time allocation are important components of the access issue that will not be considered in this supply-focused workshop.
From page 129...
... Among the major barriers to sustainable food supplies are natural resource constraints -- water, land, forest, soil, biodiversity and energy -- and human-made resources -- knowledge, technology, and infrastructure -- as well as climate change. The discussion on approaches and action will include examining R&D to reduce yield gaps and raise yield ceiling, farm level intensification and ecosystem management.
