About the Author William D.
Taken in its entirety, the book informs readers of how their Food consumption might negatively affect the Global poor, while its concluding chapters offer solutions for alleviating problems in the Global Food system.
Specific case studies provide examples of Global Hunger and poverty issues.
Organized thematically, chapters are based on such topics as Food security, Food sovereignty, Human rights, and sustainability that focus on the Global Food system.
This book presses the need to formulate policies that address the problems of poverty and Hunger on a more humane and meaningful level.
Providing access to safe, healthy Food is an ethical responsibility of the world\'s nations, not just a right of the elite or wealthy.
This book approaches the topic from a solutions-based perspective, discussing concrete policy providing for sovereignty, or control, of one\'s own Food sources as a solution that, while controversial, offers more promise than do the actions of international organizations and trade agreements.
