The environmental strand of the 21st CENTURY DEBATES series looks at the impact human development is having on the planet and how this could affect our future. At the dawn of a new millennium, we are consuming more energy and producing morem waste than ever before. What are the effetcts of our consumption on the natural world and how long can it last? This series examines the difficult decisions faced by governments and organizations concerned with these issues and asks what we as individuals can do to help.
We live in a world of food mountains and famines, where some people suffer from obesity while millions die of hunger. This book examines the trends and issues behind such inequalities, and considers possile solutions - from the development of agricultural technology to changes in global trading and food distribution systems. Can we produce enough food to nourish an ever-increasing population? Can we feed everyone without harming the environment? And will we ever see an end to hunger?
