Compound adjective

food-scarce nations

food-independent countries

food-importing/food-exporting nations

Do they make sense?

  

Top answer

They all make sense, but I haven't heard 'food-independent' used before (maybe I'm just not reading the relevant literature). I would use 'self-sufficient', but maybe this has a slightly different meaning in the world of food production!
