Description

Is it possible to see famines coming, to be prepared and to save possibly hundreds of thousands of lives? Or is this the wrong question? A famine is not a single natural catastrophe: it has different stages.

Many societies have sophisticated strategies for coping – but these are becoming dramatically limited.

Famine Early Warning System is about the people who are caught up in the process of famine.

Peter Walker looks at how they perceive their predicament and what they do to avert mass starvation: and at what genuinely useful help can be offered in order to prevent irreversible disaster. Originally published in 1989
