On an Attempt to Study the Possible Mix of Hierarchical Relationships amongst the Problems Faced by Asian Street Food Vendors

In many parts of the world, particularly in the developing countries, street food vending makes an important contribution to employment, household revenue and food security. While street foods are an important source of ready-to-eat nutrition and provides low cost meal for the urban poor population, the health risks possessed by such foods may outweigh their benefits. Present research work focuses on exploration of various challenges faced by street food vendors. Internet exploration through various search engines such as Google Scholar. The study revealed that lack of education, training and experience, lack of infrastructural support all together acts as major challenges for these street food vendors to ensure food safety while vending in developing countries. Thereafter the inter-relationship amongst them is explored through ISM methodology.
