“The Food Security Atlas of Cambodia” aims to
assess the extent of hunger and poverty in Cambodia.
It also examines the causes of poverty and hunger. The
possession of the means of livelihoods, such as land,
water, credit, technology, education and skills, are key
to eradicating poverty. Furthermore, poor people face
hardships if there are no public services and safety nets.
These issues are considered in this study under the title
of food security. This is not a research document in the
strict sense, but largely a compilation of existing
information for ready reference. In many ways, the study
is a means of dissemination, meant for those who wish
to know more about the current food security situation
in the country and the areas that need intervention. It
also supports the planning of effective action. The Atlas
contains a number of maps, thematic, as well as satellite
images, which help to visually illustrate conditions at the
sub-national level. If the Atlas provokes thought and
action by those concerned with food security, its purpose
would be served.
