Hunger and Hope
Escaping Poverty and Achieving Food Security in Developing Countries
Description:... Readable, thought-provoking,
and beneficial for those who want to comprehend the plight of the rural
poor, Hunger and Hope examines the world of those living near, on, and
over the edge of poverty in developing countries. Their aspirations,
struggles, and daily challenges are revealed with compassion and genuineunderstanding of the risks they face to sustain themselves and their
families. The text is rich with lucid and methodical observations of theeconomic processes that shape agricultural development in impoverished
countries. The author builds in an imaginative way on his extensive
experience assisting farmers and assessing the impacts of agricultural
interventions. Real-world illustrations of the policies and practices
that not only create opportunities and food security but also create
hardships show that, while progress has been made in reducing poverty
and hunger, there is a need to do more.
