How to feed the world : the history and future of food / Vaclav Smil.
In this myth-busting book, a scientist investigates why big food-producing countries also have the most undernourished populations; why food goes to waste and how to prevent it; whether the planet could and should go vegan; and how to feed a growing population without killing the planet.
