Sommario/riassunto

Today, nearly a billion people around the world suffer from hunger. However, we have the technical and scientific means to fight against this scourge. A major international player in poverty reduction policies for several decades, Ismail Serageldin presents here the causes of hunger, the issue of food security and the need to transform world agriculture. “It is time to use our scientific knowledge and technological advances to ensure that all people have their human right to food security. New technologies must be transported from the laboratory to the field, in concerted global action."
