Per Pinstrup-Andersen:

From the reviews:"Ethics, Hunger and Globalization is a very stimulating work because it adds an ethics dimension to the research and the public debate about hunger, poverty, and globalization. ... I'm very pleased with the publication of this work. Bringing together in one volume contributions of many outstanding scholars ... to discuss what action is needed for implementing ethics into the policy of governments, civil society, and the private sector to alleviate poverty and hunger, is a devil of a job. It was worthwhile to do this." (Johan De Tanvernier, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)
