Book Description
Abstract: This documentary book which uses drawings in a comic-book style examines the question: why are so many food-producing peasants in the Third World the first to go hungry? The facts and myths of food production throughtout history are discussed, and the usual answers to the above question (over-population, climate, inefficient farming) are discribed. Multi-national agribusiness, neo-malthusians, and neo-colonialism are described as reasons for Third World hunger. Food aid programs should be instituted only for real emergencies so that local food production is not discouraged. Food production problems in these countries need to be solved based on local needs, not Western models. (as).
