Recenzii
The New Breadline is a narratively compelling, timely and prescriptive book about the problems of hunger and food security in today's world. Bauer writes with intelligence and brio about a topic he knows extremely well. Drawing on a superb grasp of history and his own experiences as a humanitarian worker who has dealt with food crises around the world - everywhere from Haiti and the Middle East to Africa - Bauer offers practical pathways to hope
In the midst of the global food crisis, I find myself searching for stories of hope with tangible solutions now more than ever. In The New Breadline, Jean-Martin Bauer draws upon a lifetime on the frontlines of fighting hunger to deliver a must-read handbook that will inform, inspire and ignite action to repair our broken food system
Few writers tackle the world of international hunger, and Jean-Martin Bauer has seen what they've missed. His years on the frontlines in battle against malnutrition have made him acutely sensitive to what works, and what doesn't. He understands more about international development than most private sector, philanthropic, and policy school wonks combined. But Bauer's a fine writer. He weaves his knowledge into prose that reads like he's sharing stories late at night under a kerosene lamp. The New Breadline is a tremendous book that'll linger long after you've turned the last page
From The New Breadline:The current crisis should motivate us to reassess our food production and distribution systems as well as our social safety net. To stanch hunger's worldwide resurgence, we need to think big, and think differently, about the causes of hunger and famine and how to combat them more effectively ... if our society can launch people into orbit, it should also be able to feed its own
