1 INTRODUCTION Ethiopia is not only a country dominated by agriculture; it is a country of smallholder farmers. The livelihood decisions of this predominant farming community are largely constrained by diminishing land availability, declining soil productivity, the marginaliza-tion of time-tested crops, poor access to technology and the volatility of agricultural mar-kets (Fenta and Ali 2003). In a society so reliant for survival on agricultural land with few other livelihood options, these constraints

The food-based approach may focus on food quality and food diversity instead of quantity. The hungry appears in areas of conflict, natural disaster, but also urban and rural areas. Most of the hungry are small farms facing failed harvest, now because of droughts and poverty in general. Families are not able to store the food. Moreover, the production is not sufficient. (Devereux, 2008) A home garden is a solution but still based on the idea of providing the basic food. Research of local
nutritional health, food security, under and over nutrition, diseases, reproductive health, mental health and many other concepts as well. In my summary I will be hitting on multiple of those topics and discussing how Snarr used them in terms of global issues. I will start with nutritional health. This subject is probably very familiar to many and is a daily process people have to go through. Nutritional health is a noninfectious disease, but it is a disease in terms of food scarcity and under nutrition
focus in one of the most relevant problems of our modern society: food insecurity. Natural hazards, famines or shortages, but also is bad management from some governments that destroys their food availability and their consequences, countries without food security creating ravenous hunger within their population and strategies to counter food insecurity are key topics that are going to be taken out in this report. 1. Introduction Food insecurity is the situation that affects every person that doesn’t
