Why Can’t We Feed the World?

from World Class Hosted by Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University

Dealing with world hunger has never been easy, but in recent years the challenge has less to do with natural disasters and much more to do with human conflict. In this lecture, Ertharin Cousin, former director of the World Food Programme and a visiting scholar at FSI’s Center on Food Security and the Environment, reflects on her experiences and identifies key strategies for helping to end world hunger.
