This is an ideal update to previous works on the topic, including Seed Sovereignty, Food Security, by Vandana Shiva. Pictures and maps throughout add context ... Russell’s passion for citizen science, the important subject she explores, and her jargon-free presentation of information relating to malnutrition will open worlds for most readers, from high school students to sociologists.
... heartening ... an engrossing, modestly optimistic narrative about a sadly evergreen issue ... Readers may have mixed feelings over the emphasis on private enterprise, but with humanitarian groups overstretched and leaders in many developing nations largely indifferent, there are few alternatives ... A sensible, encouraging account of progress (if not a 'revolution') in feeding hungry children.
