Conway (international development, Imperial College) makes the case for how, through a second green revolution utilizing traditional and technological farming techniques, we can feed the world and make a profit while we're at it. The material is organized into four sections, the first looking at what hunger is, what the green revolution was, and the political economy of food security. In the second he moves into his vision of a "doubly green revolution," in which food production and money-making are wedded. The third section develops these themes, looking at designer crops, farmers as innovators and "the livestock revolution." The final section turns to ecological concerns that range from pest-control to soil and water maintenance to adapting to climate change and reducing greenhouse gases. In addition to farming practices, Conway's "doubly green vision" also relies on advocating economic regimes that favor markets and trade. He underscores the need for growth that "lasts from generation to generation" and does not undermine our planet's finite resources. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
