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-Gim nez 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Holt-Gimenez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509522018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509522019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Eric Holt-Gimenez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46806999564543,"sku":"9781509522019","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c92baa44-f1a3-4a2b-9eae-7794fefab069.jpg?v=1745378276","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/can-we-feed-the-world-eric-holt-gimenez-9781509522019","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
