Description

Explore the urgent realities of global food security in The Food Question: Profits Versus People. This work from the Routledge Earthscan Original series addresses the massive gap between wasteful over-consumption in developed nations and the worsening hunger experienced by millions in the Third World. Developed by the research group on Development Policy and Practice in the Open University (DPP), this book moves beyond simple anger to provide the analytical tools required for serious action. It examines the complex relationships between global markets and basic human needs, offering a deep look at how food systems operate on a global scale. Readers will find detailed case studies that reveal how food aid has been utilized by donor countries for political objectives. By studying these systemic issues, you gain a clearer understanding of the tension between profit motives and human survival. This is a vital resource for those studying public health, international development, and global policy.
