Food Security: Quantity and Quality Matters for Eating Good Bread in Uzbekistan

摘要

Food security is more than producing sufficient amounts of food. Food security must also cope with demands for the quality of the staples and its processed products. Although the latter aspect often is considered of less importance, the efforts to meet the quality demands are nevertheless much less than to meet the quantities needed. Proper cultivation practices by farmers can already support meeting quality standards as is illustrated in the case of winter wheat (Triticuni aestivum L.) production in Khorezm, Uzbekistan.
