... It all started with him taking his shirt off in front of me & asked... ? This was the first time I was naked to his eyes. He took it all in. Then, casually, he walked away as I picked up my blouse; with my back still to him I put my arms through the sleeves; I started to slowly button up. Then, now totally melted, fully buttoned up and tucked in, I felt confident as I turned around... He had gone!.. "Yes, it is not only those who are without who dream of getting it.

Macroeconomics, Agriculture, and Food Security: A Guide to Policy Analysis in Developing Countries by Eugenio Díaz-Bonilla (International Food Policy Research Institute) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Why write a book on macroeconomic policies and their links to agriculture and food security in developing countries? The food price spikes of the years just prior to 2010 and the economic, political, and social dislocations they generated refocused the attention of policymakers and development practitioners on the agricultural sector and food security concerns.
