As populations grow and people begin to adopt non-traditional foods along with other non-traditional ways of life they often neglect the foods that they grew up with.  Here are some sources of information on this topic.

Food and Agriculture Organization
The State of Food Insecurity in the World

ACC Network on Rural Development and Food Security 
"Brings together main development partners for focused and coordinated action at the country level. The ACC Network is a mechanism for World Food Summit."

International Food Policy Research Institute
"The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) was established in 1975 to help developing countries devise appropriate food policies and the policies needed to ensure the optimum use of new agricultural technologies. Without such policies, there is no guarantee that technical improvements will translate into adequate food supplies and improved nutrition for fast-growing Third World populations. 
    IFPRI operates as part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), a worldwide network of institutions that seek to improve the productivity of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries in developing countries, reduce malnutrition, and enhance the well-being of poor people while preserving their environment." 

World Bank - Food Crisis
In response to the severity of the food crisis and the need for prompt action, the World Bank Group set up the Global Food Crisis Response Program (GFRP) in May 2008 to provide immediate relief to countries hard hit by food high prices. The Bank response has been articulated in coordination with the United Nations’ High-Level Task Force (HLTF) on food security. Through its response, the Bank is supporting the implementation of the joint Comprehensive Framework for Action (CFA).
