Publisher's Synopsis
Every year, nine million people die of starvation. In Hunger, award-winning author Martin Caparros goes in search of why, in the 21st century, most of the world's inhabitants still go hungry daily. In search of the mechanisms that cause this mass starvation and the battles against it, he travels to places where food is scarce - Niger and Northern India, as well as to the cattle grounds of Argentina, the world's biggest beef exporter, and on to the Chicago Food Bank to learn more about the power of food distributors.
