Migration and Food Insecurity: An Exploratory Review on their Interlinkage and Policy Options

Currently, migration and food insecurity are transboundary challenges that are at the forefront of global agendas as they are entwined with almost all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They significantly impact each other on a household as well as on national levels, being embedded in the context of a particular society, as on a global scale in their relation to human development, world population, and climate issues. Hence, though policy qualities can be universal in theory, in practice they should incorporate local contextual realities. This article, therefore, explores and analyzes the multidimensional relationship between migration and food insecurity and the wide range of applicable policy qualities and constraints. It also provides a methodological procedural approach of tackling the problems in Eastern African countries.
