Global Malnutrition

The book argues that solving global malnutrition requires a blend of agricultural innovation, socioeconomic empowerment, and political reform. One surprising insight is the extent to which political instability and corruption hinder effective food distribution, exacerbating food insecurity.

The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from public health, economics, and political science to analyze the complex factors influencing global nutrition. It progresses from defining malnutrition to exploring agricultural, socioeconomic, and political drivers. By integrating diverse perspectives, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the causes, effects, and potential solutions to malnutrition, making it valuable for policymakers and practitioners in public health and international development.

A key aspect discussed is how environmental factors like climate change and land degradation contribute significantly to food insecurity, affecting vulnerable populations disproportionately.
