and healthy diets.   


Their discussion ranges broadly over the choices of agricultural
technology, food policy, dietary choices, and public institutions
needed to achieve global food security with environmental
sustainability. Denning shares his wealth of personal experiences
as an agricultural policy advisor in many parts of the world, and

describes vividly how our complex food challenges can be
systematically addressed and solved.
