Feeding them – and the projected population of 10 billion people by 2050 – has become a high-profile challenge for states, philanthropists, and even the Fortune 500. This has unleashed a steady march of initiatives to double food production within a generation. But will doing so tax the resources of our planet beyond its capacity?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this sobering essay, scholar-practitioner Eric Holt-Giménez argues that the ecological impact of doubling food production would be socially and environmentally catastrophic and would not feed the poor. We have the technology, resources, and expertise to feed everyone. What is needed is a thorough transformation of the global food regime – one that increases equity while producing food and reversing agriculture’s environmental impacts.​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Politics, Power, and Potential of Food 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Hunger in a World of Plenty 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Food, Environment, and Systems Change 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Who Can Feed the World Without Destroying It? 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 119\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 124\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441788612888,"sku":"9781509522002","price":31.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509522002.jpg?v=1785025286","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/can-we-feed-the-world-without-destroying-it-hardback-9781509522002","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
