World Hunger

With six billion people and the wealth gap growing greater than ever, a high percentage of people go to sleep hungry around the world. The odds of fixing a problem so widespread seem slim, yet figuring out the causes of hunger and the solutions to it are so important. This anthology presents some of the key ideas and conversations taking place with regard to world hunger. Readers will learn about the relationship between free trade and hunger, the history of U.S. food aid, and agricultural and political solutions to hunger.
