Feeding the World, Preventing Poverty, and Protecting the Earth
A 2020 Vision
|
| Today, more than 800 million people--20 percent of the developing world's population--do not have enough food to lead healthy and productive lives. These numbers are more than just statistics--they represent real people struggling with poverty and hunger. Feeding the World, Preventing Poverty, and Protecting the Earth is a booklet that combines stories of people facing food insecurity in the developing world with the best solutions for improving the lives of these people and millions of others by the year 2020. It incorporates comments by world leaders, such as presidents and vice presidents, and the results of research conducted as part of IFPRI's 2020 Vision initiative. Written in easy-to-understand language, this essay makes complex ideas accessible to readers at many levels and is suitable for classroom use. |
