In 'Twelve Myths About Hunger', Frances Moore Lappé, Joseph Collins, Peter Rosset, and Luis Esparza dismantle the misconceptions that perpetuate the problem of hunger worldwide. Based on research from the Institute for Food and Development Policy (Food First), the authors analyze the policies that prevent access to food in countries of the South and North, and how these criteria negatively affect our national and humanitarian interests. Written in an accessible style, this book not only debunks myths but also invites readers to join the fight against hunger, promoting the well-being of all humanity.
Frances Moore Lappé is an American researcher and author in the field of food and democracy policy. She is the author of 20 books including the 2.5-million-copy selling 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet, which the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History describes as "one of the most influential political tracts of the times." She has co-founded three organizations that explore the roots of hunger, poverty, and environmental crises, as well as solutions emerging worldwide through what she calls "living democracy". Her latest work is a report entitled Crisis of Trust: How Can Democracies Protect Against Dangerous Lies? with Max Boland and Rachel Madison. Recent books by Lappé include Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want, co-authored with Adam Eichen, and It's Not Too Late: Crisis, Opportunity, and the Power of Hope. In 1987, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "revealing the political and economic causes of world hunger and how citizens can help to remedy them."
