How to Grow a Weetabix (London Review of Books)

Contributing editor James Meek spoke with IFPRI’s David Laborde about food markets and subsidies for an extensive piece in the London Review of Books. “And if, as predicted, the world population peaked at ten billion – could the planet support that many mouths?,” Meek asked in his piece. “Again, the answer was yes, but a more nuanced yes. The issue, [Laborde] said, was not so much whether enough food could be grown – it could – as whether the poor would be able to afford it.”
