Attention Whole Foods Shoppers
Paarlberg, Robert
Foreign Policy, May/June 2010, #179, pp80-87
"Helping the world's poor feed themselves is no longer the rallying cry it once was. Food may be today's cause célèbre, but in the pampered West, that means trendy causes like making 'sustainable' - in other words, organic, local and slow. Appealing as that might sound, it is the wrong recipe for helping those who need it the most."
Robert Paarlberg is B.F. Johnson Professor of Political Science at Wellesley College, an associate of Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.
