Synopsis
Dispelling old myths regarding the root causes of hunger, a prescription for food self-reliance, applicable to developing and industrial countries, is detailed as the only path toward true self-reliance. In question and answer format, commonly accepted obstacles such as insufficient production, inappropriate technology, and discriminatory trade practices in meeting the world's food needs are considered. Hunger is a social problem rather than a technical problem, and calls for America as well as developing countries to explore their values and modes of operation. Putting food first requires that each country meet its own food needs before exports, and requires planning and a struggle against a system that increasingly concentrates wealth and power in a few.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Good. In this landmark book, Frances Moore Lappé and Joseph Collins argue convincingly that scarcity was not the cause of hunger. They demonstrate that there is still ample food being produced for everyone in the world. They identify the true causes of hunger as inequality and lack of effective democracy.
