Synopsis

Stories of famine in distant lands appear all too regularly in the news. But not many of us are aware of the real reasons why millions of people become unable to feed themselves. Presenting the facts in an easily accessible way, the author describes how we are in the process of destroying the productive soils which feed the whole world. He also explains the delicate balance of our environment and encourages the reader's personal involvement in helping to prevent the man-made and not entirely irreversible phenomenon of the Encroaching Desert.
