The North Korean Food Crisis: What Can Be Done?

Food insecurity in North Korea has been a chronic issue for more than a decade. In recent months, a confluence of global, regional, and peninsular factors has sparked growing food shortages and hunger in North Korea. Dr. Marcus Noland will present key findings and policy recommendations from a Peterson Institute for International Economics report, "North Korea on the Precipice of Famine," that he co-authored with Dr. Stephan Haggard and Erik Weeks.
