Notes: FOR CLASSROOM USE ONLY. Library has: vols. 1-4. The Hunger Machine, a book based on the series, is published by CBC Enterprises. We live in a world of plenty in which there is enough food for everyone. Yet millions die of hunger each year. They are unable to grow enough to feed themselves, and they can't afford to buy food. These volumes examine the causes of this "quiet emergency" in distribution and production. It affects far more people than well-publicized famines. Using case studies, the series looks at the politics behind the crisis and offers solutions to the problems.
