Food security in Trinidad and Tobago: data requirements and policy implications
1992
Ali, Renwick S.
Examines the trends in the food supply between 1980-1990 according to the following variables: dependence on imported food, sufficiency, sustainability, stability and the equity of the food supply. Results show that although there was a high level of sufficiency of food supply there was a decreasing trend in the level of food security. This was reflected in a critical dependence on foreign food supply, low levels of local cereal production and a reduced long term potential for food production. Incidences of malnutrition indicated a vulnerability to conditions of chronic food insecurity. The information required for defining and proper monitoring of the food security situation appears to be inadequate
