Abstract

Rather than asking how to cope with hunger and famine, the question might be how to escape their threat altogether.

Strategies include economic growth with unchanging income distribution, and growth with redistribution. The latter encourages balanced growth to create non-farm employment opportunities, while investing in rural infrastructure.
