"This book performs a great service by tackling our species' most important issue with sober, insightful analysis from every relevant angle. It shatters the easy assumptions and mythology that all too often cloud our understanding of poverty, food and hunger to deliver news vital to each and every one of the 7 plus billion of us. It is about far more than food security. Read right, it illuminates the human condition and outlines the rules for our continued sustenance on the evolving sphere that is our planet."
- Richard Manning, author of Against the Grain and Food's Frontier
