Raj Patel – author of Stuffed and Starved, Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World Food System

By Pauline Bellam / 13 September 2007

“One of the most dazzling books I have read in a long time. The product of a brilliant mind, and a gift to the world hungering for justice.” Naomi Klein, author of No Logo

“The hunger of 800 million happens at the same time as another historical first: that they are out-numbered by the one billion people on this planet who are overweight”

Raj Patel’s definitive account of the global food system ranges across GM crops, fair trade, rising levels of obesity, unsafe food, supermarket rip-offs and making another food world possible.

Raj’s visit to NZ is organised by Fair World Links (fairworldlinks@gmail.com) and supported by Christian World Service, Commonsense Organics, the Council for International Development, the Development Resource Centre, Nature’s Organics, Oxfam, Trade Aid and World Vision.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
