    "Hunger is a contentious theme in modernist literature, and this study addresses its relevance in the works of four major American and European writers. Taking an in-depth look at works by Melville, Kafka,Hamsun, and Wright, it argues that hunger is deeply involved with concepts of modernity and modern literature. Exploring how it is bound up with the writer’s role in modern society this study draws on two conflicting and complex views of hunger: the first is material, relating to the body as a physical entity that has a material existence in reality. Hunger, in this sense, is a physiological process that affects the body as a result of the need for food, the lack of which can lead to discomfort, listlessness, and eventually death. The second view is that of hunger as an appetite of the mind, the kind of hunger for immaterial things that is associated with an individual’s desire for a new form of knowledge, sentiment, or a different way of perceiving the reality of the world. By discussing the selected authors’ conceptualization of hunger as both desire and absence of desire, or as both a creative and a destructive force, it examines how it has influenced literary representations of modern life. This study then offers a focused approach to a broad field of inquiry and presents analyses that address a variety of critical perspectives on hunger and modern literature.

    Daniel Rees completed his PhD in American and Comparative Literature at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. His research interests include Anglo-American and European literature of the modern period. He has worked as a freelance editor and translator since 2004 and contributed publications in the e-journal Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies and to Orchid Press."

    "As population estimates for 2050 reach over 9 billion, issues of food security and nutrition have been dominating academic and policy debates. A total of 805 million people are undernourished worldwide and malnutrition affects nearly every country on the planet. Despite impressive productivity increases, there is growing evidence that conventional agricultural strategies fall short of eliminating global hunger, as well as having long-term ecological consequences. Forests can play an important role in complementing agricultural production to address the Sustainable Development Goals on zero hunger. Forests and trees can be managed to provide better and more nutritionally-balanced diets, greater control over food inputs – particularly during lean seasons and periods of vulnerability (especially for marginalised groups) – and deliver ecosystem services for crop production. However forests are undergoing a rapid process of degradation, a complex process that governments are struggling to reverse. This volume provides important evidence and insights about the potential of forests to reducing global hunger and malnutrition, exploring the different roles of landscapes, and the governance approaches that are required for the equitable delivery of these benefits. Forests and Food is essential reading for researchers, students, NGOs and government departments responsible for agriculture, forestry, food security and poverty alleviation around the globe."

    Aus der wirtschaftsethischen Perspektive des ordonomischen Forschungsprogramms leistet dieser Artikel drei Beiträge zur aktuellen Debatte um zivilgesellschaftliche Vorwürfen, dass die Terminmarktgeschäfte von Agrarspekulanten Hungerkrisen hervorbringen oder verschärfen. Erstens erläutert er den ökonomischen Sachverhalt, wie die Kassamärkte und Terminmärkte für Weizen funktionieren und zusammenhängen. Zweitens begründet er, warum die gegenwärtige Datenlage nicht dafür spricht, dass eine exzessive Spekulation durch künstliche Verknappung (= Weizenhortung) exzessive Preissteigerungen ausgelöst hat. Drittens kritisiert er die zivilgesellschaftlichen Kritiker und weist darauf hin, dass die Selbstkorrekturkräfte des zivilgesellschaftlichen Sektors gestärkt werden sollten. From the business ethics perspective of the ordonomic research program, this article makes three contributions to the current debate on civil society allegations that the futures market transactions of agricultural speculators produce or exacerbate hunger crises. First, it explains the working properties of spot markets and futures markets for wheat and how they are related. Secondly, it explains why current data do not suggest that excessive speculation through artificial scarcity (= wheat hoarding) has triggered excessive price increases. Thirdly, it criticizes the critics from civil society and points out that the selfcorrection powers within the civil society sector should be strengthened.

    Im Jahr 2012 äußerten zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen den Verdacht, dass die Geschäfte von Indexfonds auf den Terminmärkten für Agrarrohstoffe die Hungerkrisen in armen Ländern hervorgerufen oder verstärkt hätten. Sie erhoben radikale Forderungen, diese Art von Agrarspekulation rundherum zu verbieten oder zumindest regulativ stark einzuschränken. Dieser Artikel zeichnet die Debatte nach und erläutert, warum dieser zivilgesellschaftliche Alarm als Fehl-Alarm einzustufen war – und aus heutiger Sicht nach wie vor so einzustufen ist. Diskutiert werden die ökonomischen und wirtschaftsethischen Argumente, die seinerzeit gegen diese Forderungen ins Feld geführt wurden. Zudem wird die Frage aufgeworfen, wie die Selbstkorrekturkräfte des zivilgesellschaftlichen Sektors gestärkt werden könnten. In 2012, civil society organizations raised suspicions that the operations of index funds in the futures markets for agricultural commodities had caused or intensified hunger crises in poor countries. They raised radical demands to ban such agricultural speculation or at least to severely restrict it via regulation. This article traces the debate and explains why this civil society alarm was – and still is – to be classified as a false alarm . It discusses the economic and ethical arguments that were put forward against these demands at the time. It also raises the question of how the self-correction capacities of the civil society sector could be strengthened.

    Laksmi Bratakathas in Bengal are religious narratives of the eponymous Hindu goddess who presides over prosperity symbolized through an abundance of rice. The reciting of these Laksmi Bratakathas is a sacral duty of the women of the Bhadralok, which remains a popular practice even today. The period of rise and proliferation of these specific narratives, from the eighteenth century onwards, coincides with catastrophic famines with which imperialism in Bengal starts and ends and which provide the historical motivations for requesting the intervention of the goddess of plenty. But there is a deliberate mystification of hunger as Laksmi displaces the problem of famine onto the axes of vice and virtue, which are specifically located in the transgressive figure of the 'New Woman'. Since this is also the period which ushers in a new construction of gender relations, the displacement in these Bratakathas is of critical importance. The article examines the ideological framing of hunger by locating the matrices of the colliding and colluding histories of colonialism, class and gender.

    We use newly collected individual-level hunger recall information from the China Family Panel Survey to estimate the causal effect of undernourishment on later-life health. We develop a Two-Sample Instrumental Variable (TSIV) estimator that can deal with heterogeneous samples. We find a non-linear relationship between mortality rates, a commonly used famine indicator, and the individual hunger experience. The nonlinearity in famine exposure may explain the variation in the famine's effect on later life health found in previous studies. We also find that exposure to famine-induced hunger early in life leads to worse health among females fifty years later. This effect is much larger than the reduced-form effect found in previous studies. For males, we find no impact.

    Based on The Economist's 2021 Global Food Security Index (GFSI), the Philippines ranked 64th out of 113 countries in terms of its four dimensions of food security. After the World War II ended, the world still had to contend with population explosion, hunger, and poverty. The Philippines, just like other countries in the world, was actively searching for solutions through the conduct of research and the implementation of various agricultural programs and nutrition programs aimed at increasing food production and fighting the widespread malnutrition, especially among Filipino children. Since the term food security was officially defined and become popular in the late 1990s, it has been included in government laws, policies, and programs, such as the Agriculture and Fishery Modernization Act of 1997. This paper aims to evaluate the progress of AFMA implementation to date and assess prospects towards completing its Food Security objective. Using various indicators for the four dimensions of food security, namely, food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, and stability, the paper found that food security goal is yet to be achieved. Even the country's performance in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger reflects that there have been some improvements, but significant and major challenges remain to be addressed. However, it is worth noting that the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies, which are tasked to develop the agriculture sector and ensure food security and nutrition, have made significant strides toward this goal, albeit falling short.
