Abstract

Let us begin with two propositions. First, there is no world food problem, but there is a problem of hunger in the world. Food and hunger are, of course, related and it is tempting to argue that an increase in food output will lead to a reduction in hunger, malnutrition and starvation; but alas the connection is not so straightforward or simple. Indeed many cases can be found in which hunger increased, or failed to diminish, despite a rise in food supplies per head.
