Every day 31,000 children under age five die from hunger and preventable causes. It doesn't have to be that way. In this eye-opening work, the current and past presidents of Bread for the World, the nation's largest citizen lobby on hunger, explain that we have the experience and the technology at this moment to end the problem.
Using a question-and-answer format, David Beckmann and Arthur Simon explore the topic with chapters on the overloaded earth, a jobs-based strategy, gender and race, the economics of hunger, the politics of hunger, and taking action. The authors outline the role that churches and charities can play in combating this persistent problem. This year's focus for Bread for the World is working for debt cancellation for the world's poorest nations.
