FEEDING PEOPLE IS EASY by Colin Tudge The message of Feeding People is Easy is the most important that can be conceived. At the moment 38 million people across Africa are at risk of starvation, yet with a major change in our thinking, the world can be fed foreverwithout cruelty to livestock and without wrecking the planet. If we do the job properly, we will create human societies that are truly agreeable, co-operative and at peace; societies in which all manner of people with all kinds of beliefs and aspirations can be personally fulfilled. We cannot leave our affairs to the powers-that-be. Feeding People is Easy shows what each one of us can do to help put things right. The book also proposes a Worldwide Food Club–the means by which humanity at large can establish a new global food supply chain, based on the principles of sound biology and justice.
