How to End Hunger in Times of Crises - Let's Start Now! - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Of the world's seven billion people, more than half eat badly. Almost one billion are constantly short of food, at least two billion suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and 1.5 billion are overweight or obese. The burden of ill health and the loss of human potential caused by each of these forms of malnutrition are vast. Almost one third of the food that farmers produce is wasted, much of it being thrown away by consumers in the "West". Those that most need food are the ones that can't afford it. These three facts suggest that the global food system is in a big mess. We claim that one of the main reasons why so many people are hungry is because almost everyone has come to believe that it is very difficult to get rid of hunger. In fact, it is one of the simplest things that we can do together to make the world a better home for all its people. We suggest how to turn this dream into an affordable reality.
