The business of hunger Despite the economic and financial crisis, can we forget that 25,000 people, including 18,000 children, die of hunger and malnutrition every day? What are the causes of the spreading world food crisis and who are the profiteers? Policies are failing, but there are solutions. The world food crisis is spreading. The 1996 goal of halving the number of hungry people by 2015 is a distant memory. Jean Feyder reveals the deeper causes of this hunger scandal and a system that mainly plays to the financial and economic interests of the North, not to the people of the South. He calls for a radical restructuring of the entire food system, because otherwise it will not be possible to feed the nine billion people of tomorrow without causing ecological and social collapse. The challenge is to all of us - the West.
