In this often startling, always revealing book, two of the world's foremost experts on the problems of food and agriculture expose and explode the myths that prevent us from understanding how we can alleviate the devastation of world hunger. The book shakes many tenaciously held beliefs, but most importantly, it convinces you that until we have solved the most basic human problem -food for life - we cannot consider ourselves fully human. Includes notes and a resource guide.
