An average of 25,000 men and women, and in particular children, perish from hunger every day. Yet we produce enough food to feed the entire human population one-and-a-half times over.\nSo why is it that world hunger remains such a deadly problem?\n\nIn this crucial and inspiring work, award-winning author Martín Caparrós travels the globe in search of an answer. His investigation brings him to Africa and the Indian subcontinent where he witnesses starvation first-hand; to Chicago where he documents the greed of corporate food distributors; and to Buenos Aires where he accompanies trash scavengers in search of something to eat.\n\nAn international bestseller when it first appeared, this first-ever English language edition has been updated by Caparrós to consider whether conditions that have improved or worsened since the books European publication.\n\nWith its deep reflections and courageous journalism, Caparrós has created a powerful and empathic work that remains committed to ending humankinds longest ongoing crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44618249240629,"sku":"ByrdShop_161219804X","price":48.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_161219804X_c0dc21ef-33b0-4a18-a453-768390b07bf0.jpg?v=1784389575","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/hunger-the-oldest-problem-9781612198040","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
