Overview

The 20th century was the century of voracity, the 21st century will be the century of hunger. Elsewhere, of course, in Africa, but also in the West, right here.Depletion of fossil fuels and minerals, climate change, shrinking arable land, the agony of soils, scarcity of fresh water, depopulation of the oceans, overpopulation, the crisis in agriculture: these are all factors leading to hunger and its dramatic consequences.Decades of reckless expansion now leave us only a tiny strait to avoid collapse and emerge from the fossil age without irreparable damage. Hugues Stoeckel convinces us, without complacency and with many examples, of the reality of the peril, the better to show us the glimmer of hope.
