In this provocative book, the authors look at the interaction
between population and food supply and offer a powerful and radical
strategy for balancing human numbers with nutritional needs. Their
proposals include improving the status of women, reducing racism
and religious prejudice, reforming the agricultural system, and
shrinking the growing gap between rich and poor.
