Abstract

Ethics, Hunger and Globalization. In Search of Appropriate Policies, edited by Per Pinstrup-Andersen, Peter Sandøe, is reviewed. How ethics may help in the struggle against poverty and hunger is the main search of this book. A distinguished collection of authors from different backgrounds approaches the problem from the perspective of ethics, religion, international law, economics, and the world of NGOs, while in the second half the book zooms in on policies of food and agriculture: GM crops, agricultural subsidies and tariff walls, and food safety standards.
