The World Food Problem: Toward Understanding and Ending Undernutrition in the Developing World

by Howard D. Leathers, Phillips Foster (Contributor)

The fifth edition of The World Food Problem reflects nearly a decade of new research on the causes and potential solutions to the problems of producing and distributing food in developing countries. With extensively updated data and new case studies throughout, this edition includes new or expanded discussions of such issues as genetically modified food, the impact of climate change, the quality of agricultural land and water, the significance of globalization, abd implications of changes in demographic policy, such as the reversal of China’s "one-child rule".

A-mazing. People can even carry food packs with their back and still help a lot more than the paper pushers that have written this book. Now discount the wages, all kind of perks, life time employment ignoring performance, good pension plans, mostly money for nothing, and the world food problem can have a solution simply by canceling the handouts to this sort of people.

It's fine for the most part. Does a good job of explaining the current world situation.

However, the economics bits were explained in a very convoluted way. There was one chapter that was supposed to be explaining elasticity but it did not include the mathematical equation for it, so it was talking in circles.

Does a decent job of being an understandable textbook.
