Summary "This book acts as a practical guide seeking to find immediate and lasting solutions for famine through effective identification of the underlying causes of famine. Focusing primarily on response to famines and natural disasters, Cuny takes an economic approach that is still innovative and challenging. His focus on counter-famine measures revolves around people's livelihoods, not just their survival, giving more permanent solution to world hunger. Fred Cuny's ideas are well ahead of his time and they are brought to life in this innovative and instructive guide."--Jacket.
