Effect of Income Inequality on the food security

The book describes the effect of income inequality on the food security of rural and urban Nigerian households. Income inequality is shown to be on the increase and can be linked to the growing dimension of food insecurity. Inequality affects individuals purchasing power and consequently, well-being. The study further revealed that a small reduction in income inequality, even in the absence of growth, can lead to substantial reduction in food security problems.
