Today more than three quarters of a billion people go hungry in a world where food is plentiful. A distinguished scientist here sets out an agenda for addressing this situation. Initially published in 1997 in the United Kingdom, the book is now...A valuable source book that outlines a comprehensive view of world food production as seen through the needs of the world's hungry... A book that begins with a disconcerting prediction leaves us instead with a realistic vision of a future where no one goes hungry.
