Book Description
This publication examines the issue of where food came from, where it is now, and where it is likely to come from in the future. It looks at solutions to the equation posed by the Resource Clock in the lobby of IDRC's headquarters: the top line relentlessly counts up each new birth while the bottom counts down each lost hectare of productive land on which to grow food to sustain them. It also shows that, although they are intertwined, there is a dichotomy between the world hunger problem and the world food problem.
