Not your typical public policy book, Closing the Food Gap draws on Mark Winne's 30 years of experience working on real-world solutions to food insecurity to suggest what works and what doesn't. Winne argues that policymakers and nonprofits have failed to tackle the root cause of hunger--poverty and low wages--preferring to prop up large-scale agriculture with band-aid solutions to unequal food distribution. But none of Winne's prescriptions are pat or simple, and he recognizes the need for farmers to earn a living wage while bringing the cost and availability of food into reach for low-wealth Americans. Very readable exploration of a tough, tough challenge.
