Despite being in many ways a fertile place, food security remains a big issue for many families and communities in Myanmar. This can be due to crop failure, crop destruction because of displacement, falling prices for exports and lack of capital to grow more than just enough. Sometimes the lack of access to beneficial agricultural techniques or resources can mean that the quality of food produced is also poor, and up to a third of children in Myanmar are malnourished according to a recent report.
