Abstract
From the cover:
In this often startling, always revealing book, two of the world's foremost experts on the problems of food and agriculture expose and explode the myths that prevent us from understanding how we can alleviate the devastation of world hunger. They demonstrate that this pervasive killer is caused not of hunger. They demonstrate that this pervasive killer is caused not by natural disaster, overpopulation, or lack of fertile land; even now, there is abundant food for everyone. Nor do solutions lie solely in new agricultural technology, government regulation, "free-market" economics or foreign aid.
Drawing on and distilling their extensive research, Lappe and Collins examine head-on the policies and politics and politics that have kept starving people from feeding themselves both in the U.S and around the world, as well as the myths and shibboleths that have obscured our own national, social, and humanitarian interests. World Hunger: Twelve Myths shakes many tenaciously held beliefs, but most importantly, it convinces you that until we have solved the most basic human problem-food for life-we cannot consider ourselves fully human.
