A ground-breaking analysis of the world's hunger crisis and its solutions, from the World Food Programme's Country Director in Haiti
'A tremendous book that'll linger long after you've turned the last page' Raj Patel, author of Inflamed
The face of hunger is changing. Since the Covid pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even the West is experiencing a level of food insecurity not seen for generations. Climate change is already resulting in food-related migration, and the world will soon see significant shifts in the location of arable land.
The New Breadline is a call to action on the issues of food aid, food security and climate justice, told from the frontlines of hunger. Jean-Martin Bauer eloquently dissects inequity and racism in the humanitarian system, drawing on his Haitian childhood and his career as an aid worker, asking: when decisions about food are being made, who isn't at the table?
Urgent, incisive, and full of compassion, this is the human story of hunger.
