Feeding the world's population is one of the most challenging problems of our time. In this volume, cultural and biological anthropolgists explore many factors affecting the availability of food in underdeveloped countries. Contributors examine such areas as the food resources of particular populations; fluctuations in the availability of these resources; biological and cultural characteristics that help people to cope with uncertainties in their food supply; and the effects of advanced industrialized societies on traditional cultures. The emphasis throughout is on presenting up-to-date empirical knowledge--supported by solid research--concerning the pressing problems of hunger and malnutrition as they exist in the world today.
