Feeding Frenzy by Paul Mcmahon
As the tectonic plates of the world food system shift, forces are being unleashed that threaten the security of billions. This book traces the history of the global food system and reveals the underlying causes of food shortages and price spikes - what the media has labelled a 'world food crisis'.
In this passionately argued book, McMahon states that we already produce enough food to feed nine billion people and that there are vast, untapped areas of fertile arable land * Sunday Times *
