"Food First: Beyond the Myth of Scarcity"

"Food First: Beyond the Myth of Scarcity" challenges the idea that hunger is primarily due to a lack of food production. Instead, it highlights that global food issues are often caused by unequal distribution, waste, and economic or political barriers. The book advocates for focusing on fairer access, reducing waste, and addressing systemic problems rather than simply increasing food supply. It emphasizes that enough food is already produced worldwide; the real challenge is ensuring everyone has reliable access to nutritious food.
