Britain's "Robin Hood of Environmentalism," David Bellamy,
examines the world hunger problem with his usual wit, energy, and
passion, and finds that myths and ironies abound. Example: Why is
there hunger in a world that already grows more than enough to
feed everyone? Answer: It's grown in the wrong place, in the wrong
way and sold at the wrong price to guarantee that everyone has
enough to eat. In many Third World countries luxury crops are
grown for the rich world, often to service international debt,
while the people are left to starve. With Study Guide
This program is part of the TURNING THE TIDE series, seven
programs addressing our world's major environmental problems.
