About this title

Synopsis

This work examines the policies and politics that have kept hungry people from feeding themselves around the world, in both Third and First World countries.

From the Back Cover

Drawing on and distilling the extensive research of the Institute for Food and Development Policy (FoodFirst), Lappe, Collins, and Rosset examine head-on the policies and politics that have kept hungry people from feeding themselves around the world, in both Third- and First-World countries, as well as the misconceptions that have obscured our own national, social, and humanitarian interests. Written in a straightforward, easy-to-read style, World Hunger: Twelve Myths shakes many tenaciously held beliefs; but most important, it convinces readers that by standing together with the hungry we can advance not only humanitarian interests, but our own well-being.
