Economic reforms have an adverse effect on food security?
Banning of food exports in order to lower local food prices damages the livelihood of local farmers and discourages them from producing food. Which can lead to decreased food production and decreased food security. Providing subsidies to local farmers in order to disadvantage foreign farmers can decrease food security in poor countries who can't afford to subsidize their farmers to the same extent. Putting up tariffs and taxes on imports and exports of food in order to manipulate food prices in favor of consumers often puts farmers at a disadvantage and discourages them from producing food. Which decreases food security.
