Ending Hunger cover

A thought-provoking examination of global hunger and sustainable food systems, Ending Hunger challenges conventional beliefs about food security.

In Ending Hunger, the author presents a compelling exploration of the global food crisis, raising critical questions about our current food systems and their sustainability. The book opens with alarming statistics from 2017, highlighting a significant increase in global hunger for the first time in a decade. It delves into the challenges posed by pesticide-resistant pests that threaten crops worldwide, affecting everything from staple foods like bananas to potatoes. This situation is compounded by the significant carbon emissions associated with food production, indicating a pressing need for change in how we approach food production and consumption.

Anthony Warner, known for his provocative insights, argues that we possess the capability to create a world where starvation is a thing of the past. He challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about food, sustainability, and dietary choices. Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all solution, Ending Hunger encourages a dialogue about the complexities of food systems and the various pathways to achieving food security for all. It invites readers to consider innovative solutions that go beyond simply adopting a vegan lifestyle.

Ultimately, Ending Hunger is not just a wake-up call about the looming threat of famine; it is also a hopeful vision of a future where everyone has access to nutritious food without the burden of guilt. Warner's insights and suggestions aim to inspire action and foster a sense of responsibility towards creating a more equitable food system.

‘A provocative vision.’

‘This is an important book, and a good one. It’s ambitious and well-researched and timely… Food science can be a dry topic, but Warner manages to make it an entertaining one.’
