Hunger is a daily reality for a billion people. More than six decades after the technological discoveries that led to the Green Revolution aimed at ending world hunger, regular food shortages, malnutrition, and poverty still plague vast swaths of the world. And with increasing food prices, climate change, resource inequality, and an ever-increasing global population, the future holds further challenges.In One Billion Hungry, Sir Gordon Conway, one of the world's foremost experts on global food needs, explains the many interrelated issues critical to our global food supply from the science of agricultural advances to the politics of food security. He expands the discussion begun in his influential The Doubly Green Revolution: Food for All in the Twenty-First Century, emphasizing the essential combination of increased food production, environmental stability, and poverty reduction necessary to end endemic hunger on our planet. Conway addresses a series of urgent questions about global hunger: - How we will feed a growing global population in the face of a wide range of adverse factors, including climate change? - What contributions can the social and natural sciences make in finding solutions?- And how can we engage both government and the private sector to apply these solutions and achieve significant impact in the lives of the poor?Conway succeeds in sharing his informed optimism about our collective ability to address these fundamental challenges if we use technology paired with sustainable practices and strategic planning.Beginning with a definition of hunger and how it is calculated, and moving through issues topically both detailed and comprehensive, each chapter focuses on specific challenges and solutions, ranging in scope from the farmer's daily life to the global movement of food, money, and ideas. Drawing on the latest scientific research and the results of projects around the world, Conway addresses the concepts and realities of our global food needs: the legacy of the Green Revolution; the impact of market forces on food availability; the promise and perils of genetically modified foods; agricultural innovation in regard to crops, livestock, pest control, soil, and water; and the need to both adapt to and slow the rate of climate change. One Billion Hungry will be welcomed by all readers seeking a multifaceted understanding of our global food supply, food security, international agricultural development, and sustainability.

Great sheepskin seat covers
Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs, Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs
These are a perfect fit for my Mazda CX5 seats. I got the grey which compliments my interior and hopefully will not get as hot as black ones would. The shearling covers are plush without looking too hairy. They are real wool despite some reviewers opinions. (they feel like one of my sheep, only cleaner lol). The attachments work well. Just slip the plastic piece through the seat crack until it flips and holds. Mine also came with elastic straps and hooks to anchor the front but I can’t find a good place to hook them so I will not use them. The grippy backing keeps them in place just fine. These covers elevate the car interior and are super comfy. Very happy with my purchase.

Seat Cover That Did Not Disappoint!
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
So Soft. Good under-side grips. Didn't have time to 'properly' attach, so I just put the cover on top of the seat. That was about a week ago and it hasn't moved. Wonderfully cool and there's no more sticking to the seat in the heat. Worth the price.

Good seat COVER, but not a seat cushion
Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
First, it would be very helpful if the description/information did not use the word "cushion" as this implies some sort of padding in addition to the cover. The cover has a layered backing but there is no cushioning or padding like material. That said, it is a very nice sheepskin cover. It was well packed and the sheepskin material itself is soft. It is a good size and nice to sit on. However, I will return as I need some actual padding to make my very firm car seat more comfortable. My rating would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Nice comfort and warm seat cover
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
Used when traveled to Florida and back (3,000+ miles). Nice comfort and fit onto my Honda CRV seat good. It has straps and clips to hold it in place and rubber backing to keep it from moving around. In the winter it warms you up quickly, added bonus not expected. The quality is good, not problems with piling, or coming apart.
