Beschreibung

Global Food Crisis explores the complex web of factors causing food shortages worldwide, impacting vulnerable populations and threatening food security. It highlights how economic instability, climate change, and conflict converge to disrupt food systems, despite advancements in agriculture. The book examines the historical roots of these systems, from local farming to global markets, revealing vulnerabilities in the modern interconnected world. For example, volatile commodity prices can devastate developing nations' ability to secure stable food supplies. The book provides a comprehensive analysis by linking economic principles, climate patterns, and conflict dynamics to the crisis. It emphasizes that food shortages are systemic issues, not isolated events. The approach is to present fact-based insights that go beyond single-cause explanations of the current events. The book is structured to first introduce the challenges, then examine the major drivers such as the impact of climate change, and finally offer solutions ranging from policy recommendations to agricultural advancements. Ultimately, Global Food Crisis distinguishes itself by offering an integrated perspective on the multifaceted nature of food shortages, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical global challenge. The book references data from organizations like the World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Reconciling - A Lifelong...

Scott Steedman, Larry Grant

“Larry Grant’s life is a model of what it means to rise above hardship, transcend preconceived notions, and live life in a good way. I’ve had the honour of meeting him, but this book makes me feel as if I know him. And that is a profound gift.” — Shelagh Rogers, Honorary Witness, Truth and Reconciliation Commission; broadcast journalist, CBC Radio

A personal and historical story of identity, place, and belonging from a Musqueam-Chinese Elder caught between cultures

It’s taken most of Larry Grant’s long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status. With one stroke of the pen, they were disenfranchised—no longer recognized as Indigenous.

Reconciling is a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman as they visit pivotal geographical places together, including the Musqueam reserve, Chinatown, the site of the Mission residential school, the Vancouver docks and the University of British Columbia. Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver and spans key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview.

When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we’re all going through, Indigenous and settler, immigrant and Canadian-born. “I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self,” he explains. “To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that.”
