"The world population will approach 10 billion by 2050. A food-secure world in 2050 would mean that all 10 billion people have stable access to adequate, safe, and nutritious food, produced without degrading the environment. The knowledge to end hunger and malnutrition, without environmental damage and resource depletion, already exists. But it is largely inaccessible or unknown to those who are responsible for, or are interested in, fulfilling this vision. Universal Food Security synthesizes and presents relevant knowledge and practice that are locked away in the literature, and in the notebooks and memories of experienced field practitioners. This book explores the fundamentals of food systems, what can be done to improve them for a food-secure future, and how to do it. Written by a seasoned development expert whose 40 years of experience in food security include work on the UN's Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals task forces, this book is an ideal guide for students and practitioners looking to transform our food landscape for current and future generations."
An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion "When technological change and globalization in recent decades brought frustration over the resulting losses to jobs and communities, there were no guardrails to get these workers back on track. As this compelling book shows, our nation is going to need bridges to help people get through the unavoidable transformations."-Edmund Phelps, 2006 Nobel Laureate in Economics and author of Mass Flourishing Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls-of both the physical and economic kinds-to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape
