One Billion Hungry: Can We Feed the World?

摘要

We all want to end hunger. Conway's book provides the roadmap for how to do it. But be prepared, this is not easy. "Think global, eat local'' will not cut it. We will need serious science, technology, finance, and appropriate government policies in well over a hundred countries to meet this goal. Gordon Conway, the most knowledgeable and distinguished agroecologist of his generation, is taking on a really tough problem, one that many individuals, NGOs, countries, and international organizations have struggled with for decades. Conway's approach has important supporters: Bill Gates' praise for the book's optimism is on the cover; Rajiv Shah, the USAID Administrator, provides a laudatory Foreword.
