Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The seminal book on global poverty and hunger . . . How rapacious speculators and complicit bureaucrats are starving a billion people (Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch and author of Foodopoly).Few people know that world hunger was very nearly eradicated in our lifetimes. In the past five years, however, widespread starvation has suddenly reappeared, and chronic hunger is a major issue on every continent.In an extensive investigation of this disturbing shift, Jean Zieglerone of the worlds leading food expertslays out in clear and accessible terms the complex global causes of the new hunger crisis. Zieglers wideranging and fascinating examination focuses on how the new sustainable revolution in energy production has diverted millions of acres of corn, soy, wheat, and other grain crops from food to fuel. The results, he shows, have been sudden and startling, with declining food reserves sending prices to record highs and a new global commodities market in ethanol and other biofuels gobbling up arable lands in nearly every continent on earth.Like Raj Patels pioneering Stuffed and Starved, Betting on Famine will enlighten the millions of Americans concerned about the politics of food at homeand about the forces that prevent us from feeding the worlds children.In this devastating book, [Ziegler] describes the horrors of food insecurity, the callousness of crusaders of neoliberalism who control food and land access, and the individuals and grassroots organizations fighting for subsistence farmers and the right to food. Publishers Weekly (starred review)Passionate, wellresearched, objective, and illuminating . . . When we close this book, indignant, we know that those who die of hunger are victims of money and power. LExpress
