Who's Hungry? and How Do We Know?: Food Shortage, Poverty, and Deprivation

by Sara Millman, Ellen Messer, Laurie Fields DeRose

Any attempt to reduce hunger requires a sound understanding of which people are affected. This book differentiates between food shortage (regional food scarcity), food poverty (inadequate household food supplies), and food deprivation (individual malnutrition) in order to identify the causes of hunger and recommend ways to effectively target interventions. It also focuses on how we know who the hungry are.
