Hunger

"Nothing less than astonishing..."—Booklist (starred review)

From a renowned international journalist comes a galvanizing international bestseller about mankind's oldest, most persistent, and most brutal problem—world hunger.

There were over 800 million starving people in the world in 2020. An average of 25,000 men and women, and in particular children, perish from hunger every day. Yet we produce enough food to feed the entire human population one-and-a-half times over.

So why is it that world hunger remains such a deadly problem?

In this crucial and inspiring work, award-winning author Martín Caparrós travels the globe in search of an answer. His investigation brings him to Africa and the Indian subcontinent where he witnesses starvation first-hand; to Chicago where he documents the greed of corporate food distributors; and to Buenos Aires where he accompanies trash scavengers in search of something to eat.

With its deep reflections and courageous journalism, Caparrós has created a powerful and empathic work that remains committed to ending humankind's longest ongoing crisis.

《未來食物危機》把大家視作平常的事物無限放大，逐一拆解糧食問題，聚焦探究科學、科技、工程及數學到底是如何進入生活，並影響我們明天吃些甚麼。歡迎光臨，請上座STEM未來餐桌，享用眼下的美食！。
