Hunger
At New Internationalist we dig deep to expose the true causes behind global hunger and food insecurity. We tell the stories from the heart of hunger crises from Brazil to Burkina Faso, and look closely at the growing problem of food poverty in the West as prices soar.
In this collection you can also find our Food Justice files, an in-depth series of reports and investigations exploring the monopoly of food production, rising malnutrition in affluent countries and the export of poor diets worldwide – and how we can create a food system in which everyone gets to eat.
