520    The international food system is increasingly at risk. 
       Increasing demand, limited and diminishing resources and 
       rising volatility are putting new pressures on the 
       agriculture sector globally. One of the growing critical 
       threats to global stability and security is the inadequacy
       of food resources. This threat, exacerbated by global 
       population growth, is illustrated by shifts in consumption
       patterns toward protein-rich diets and the growth of 
       multinational food retail, which bring about a greater 
       reliance on food imports. This book compares the food 
       security policies of selected countries in Asia and the 
       Middle East, and reviews the outcomes of policy 
       applications in a broader context. Themes discussed 
       include: -Shifts in regional and international foreign 
       policy, such as new alliances between countries with rich 
       agricultural resources and wealthier importing states -
       Creation of food security policy competition across 
       regions -Foreign investments and investment risks for 
       farmland investments -Social implications, such as 
       potential unrest -Environmental sustainability of food 
       security programs, such as the depletion of water 
       resources -Impact of food security programs on trade 
       policies and fiscal policies, such as import taxes and 
       subsidies.
