"The author provides a clear and concise guide to a key part of what is possibly the most critical question facing humanity."-New Scientist "A valuable source book that outlines a comprehensive view of world food production as seen through the needs of the world's hungry... A book that begins with a disconcerting prediction leaves us instead with a realistic vision of a future where no one goes hungry."-Boston Book Review "This book is remarkable for its comprehensive treatment of the critical food issues that confront the globe, as well as its very accessible presentation of where we've been-and where we may be headed-in the early years of the new millennium. Dr. Conway's eminently sensible approach to clarifying and addressing the real hunger issues is destined to frame the debate for many years to come."-Per Pinstrup-Andersen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, DC
