25,000 men, women, and children die every day from hunger or malnutrition around the world. And yet, food is not lacking: in fact, it is in abundance, as the planet strains under the effect of overproduction. How can we resolve this paradox? This is the question that Mart�n Caparr�s explores in this urgent and important book by giving a voice to people suffering from the crisis, as well as those striving to alleviate it. Above all, Caparr�s is determined to uncover the mechanisms that result in almost one billion people starving while others become obese. Hunger is a crucial, passionate, and deeply empathetic book, committed to exposing the scale of this universal crisis and seeking insightful solutions.
