Challenge of Famine Recent Experience, Lessons Learned

In light of the many famine and drought crises in the Horn of Africa and Southern Africa, there may never be a better time for a book like this. Could we have avoided the famines we see today? In all likelihood, "yes." This book demonstrates that famine is a process, not an event, yet the typical response to famine is relief after the fact, not preemptive intervention. Field's central message is that planners must integrate famine policy with development policy.Field, John Osgood is the author of 'Challenge of Famine Recent Experience, Lessons Learned' with ISBN 9781565490185 and ISBN 1565490185.
