THE GLOBAL HUNGER CRISIS – MAJDA BNE SAAD

For billions around the world, the daily challenge is finding enough to eat to survive. Hunger is on the rise globally, with more than 1.2 billion people suffering from food insecurity and poverty, and rising food prices increasingly jeopardizing access to food. But what are the causes of global hunger? And as the global population soars, what are the key food challenges?

In this deeply informative study, Majda Bne Saad identifies the causes of global hunger embedded in the current economic system, apportioning blame to the West’s continued support for, and subsidies to, biofuels, which have created persistent and formidable new demands for food commodities. Saad proposes we fight back, arguing for a “second green revolution” to grow more food, and, by analysing the factors constraining low‑income nations from achieving food security, she considers policies that could generate income and enhance individuals’ entitlement to food.
