Food System Model Promotion Research Under Hunger

The current food system is greatly threatened by various factors. Food scarcity has become an increasingly difficult but urgent problem to be handled with. To make some contributions to solve such food problems, we constructed a metric model to identify the ability of each country to manage the pressure of food demand, and offered solutions to some regions. In this paper, we develop a metric, named Total Scarcity Metric (TSM), to measure food scarcity for each country, and help Japan and Bangladesh to handle its serious food situation. In our TSM model, we divide food scarcity into two parts: social-determined food scarcity and economic food scarcity. We develop corresponding metrics by different approaches. Then, we make a research on how and why food is scarce in Japan and Bangladesh and forecast the future situation. Based on that, we design a plan for Japan and Bangladesh and predict its performance.
