Raj Patel, Author of "Stuffed and Starved" (public event)

Half the world is malnourished, the other half obese – Why is there such a large discrepancy between the haves and the have-nots for what we all need: food? Patel conducts a global investigation to make sense of the world food crisis and finds that “the food system is filled with choices made by a handful of powerful people, in smoke filled rooms, over the objections of the majority.” Hear a story of nefarious false choices and of international resistance movements that take you from seed to store to plate.
