Riassunto

At a time in history when conflict erupts daily in far-flung corners of the world, ending severe deprivation may be critical to global peace and stability. Yet we are far from reaching the goal of reducing hunger by 2025. The authors of this book bring good news: hunger can be banished in our lifetime. They first distil what is already known about fighting hunger and then report on important research findings and projections that show it can be done, through new and renewed institutions, scientific innovation, global economics and investment, and sustainable environmental practices. Although the book encompasses a wide array of ideas, arguments, facts, and figures, it is not intended as a dry, academic text. Rather, it is for anyone wanting a better understanding of poverty and hunger and how to end it.

Recensione

"A very effective synthesis and exposition of the issues related to food security. I know of no other work that brings the various threads of the food security issue together under one cover. It is well written and might even be able to capture the attention of that mythical individual -- the very busy policy maker. I would guess that it might also find substantial classroom use." -- Vernon W. Ruttan, Regents Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota
