“An amazing book that will stay with you long after the last page” - Raj Patel, author of Inflamed.

The image of hunger is changing. From the Covid pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even the West is experiencing a level of food insecurity not seen in generations. Climate change has already led to food-related migration, and the world will soon see significant changes in the location of arable land.

The New Breadline is a call to action on issues of humanitarian aid, food security, and climate justice, featuring narratives from the frontlines of hunger. Jean-Martin Bauer incisively analyzes inequality and racism in the humanitarian system, using his childhood in Haiti and his career as a humanitarian worker, asking: when decisions about food are made, who is not at the table?

Urgent, insightful, and full of compassion, this is the human drama of hunger.
