Gathers statistics concerning famine, population growth, and world food production, discusses the responsibilities of the developed nations, and looks at birth control policies, foreign aid, military security, and world economic conditions
This text investigates the systemic causes of global famine and evaluates the feasibility of eradicating hunger through coordinated international policy. The authors, representing the research output of Praeger Scientific, synthesize demographic data, agricultural output statistics, and economic indicators to argue that hunger is a manageable policy failure rather than an inevitable consequence of population growth. The work establishes a framework for evaluating the moral and logistical obligations of developed nations in addressing food insecurity through foreign aid and economic restructuring.
