Overview

"The definitive solutions-based book for all those questioning why hunger still exists when there is such an abundance of food." --The Huffington Post, "Food Tank's 2015 Recommended Fall Reading List"

From bestselling authors Frances Moore Lapp and Joseph Collins comes the twenty-first century's authoritative book on world hunger. Lapp and Collins refute the myths that prevent us from addressing the root causes of hunger across the globe. World Hunger: 10 Myths draws on extensive new research to offer fresh, often startling, insights about tough questions--from climate change and population growth to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the role of US foreign aid, and more.

Brimming with little-known but life-changing examples of solutions to hunger worldwide, this myth-busting book argues that sustainable agriculture can feed the world, that we can end nutritional deprivation affecting one-quarter of the world's people, and that most in the Global North have more in common with hungry people than they thought. For novices and scholars alike, World Hunger: 10 Myths will inspire a whole new generation of hunger-fighters.

"World Hunger . . . should become not only a book for study, but a guide to action." --Noam Chomsky
