Pragues holiday feasts will include carp and potato salad, while the Malagasy enjoy rice and zebu this month. In the United States its turkey and stuffing. But in a world that produces enough to feed a growing population, why do nearly 1 billion people still go hungry?

This issue of Perspectives takes a closer look at the links between agriculture and poverty worldwide and assesses the impacts of growing trends to buy organic, local, and fairly traded products.

FROM THE FRONTLINES

My Experience: Campesino a Campesino

Farmers helping their brothers, so that they can help themselves to find solutions and not be dependent on the technician or on the bank. That is Campesino a Campesino.

Power of the Plate

Food should give life, cleanse the body, and uplift the spirit. What you put on your table is both a political statement and a mirror of who you really are.

Interview: Eat Here with Brian Halweil

The simple choice to eat locally produced food can have important consequences for the environment, our health, and economies worldwide.

A Cow, Not a Cup

Successful development projects flow from an understanding of shared community values. Heifer's Passing the Gift is a case in point.
