Hungry Planet

In many parts of the world, there's plenty of food available and some even gets wasted. But in other places, people struggle to find the food they need. Three billion people, or 40 per cent of the world's population, currently don't have a reliable supply of healthy food. This volume looks at how feeding people and food inequality impact our world. It explores where our food comes from, how farming and fishing affect the environment, why famines and food shortages happen, as well as what we can all do to protect the planet and make sure everyone has the food they need.
