- Description: The current economic dispensation has created a dilemma: economic liberalisation has meant that consumers have access to food at lower prices. However, employment has suffered as local producers have been unable to compete, and been pushed out of the market. We are left with trying to balance the concerns of consumers and producers - something that has not yet been addressed in any systematic way. In trying to achieve this balance, closer attention must be paid to the achievement of household food security. The achievement of household food security places several macro-economic and micro- economic processes under scrutiny. As currently implemented, GEAR has failed to achieve its own economic targets, thereby reinforcing poverty. The "Poverty and Inequality" report has identified food security as an important factor to eradicate poverty. What is now required is an implementation forum that deals with the recommendations of that report.
