| | by D. John Shaw |
| | |
| | This book provides the first |
| | comprehensive history of the numerous |
| | attempts made since the Second World War |
| | to provide food security for all. It |
| | shows not only the many ways in which |
| | attempts to achieve food and nutrition |
| | security unfolded, and the sequence in |
| | which they occurred, but also why they |
| | did not succeed, and what lessons can be |
| | drawn for the future. The book provides a |
| | point of reference for all those |
| | interested and involved in food security |
| | issues. |
