'Sanyal and Prabhu address the complexities at the nexus of food and climate change beyond GHG emissions counting and offer many tangible solutions.

Maria Athena Ballesteros, Philanthropy and Non-Profit Advisor and Strategist
'Food security is an extremely serious issue for the world to deal with – but how? The very readable and accessible approach taken by Sanjoy and Jaideep in 'Will We Go Hungry?' is refreshing in so many ways. If one objective of the book is 'to provide solutions and to help people who can make a difference, take practical steps forward', they've achieved that and more. A heavy subject with a light touch. Enlightened and inspiring.' Ken Hickson, Author of 'Race for Sustainability' and 'The ABC of Carbon'
'A fascinating book on food and drink security. It not only lays out the challenges we face, but also confronts the difficult trade-offs required to make meaningful progress. Rich with insights and memorable facts, it offers plenty of 'nuggets' that will spark a thoughtful conversation over dinner or coffee.' Vijyant Khosla, Former Managing Director, HSBC
'Rather than chasing overhyped silver-bullet solutions that rarely succeed in the real world, this book offers a grounded, evidence-based path to global food security. Its practical insights, drawn from diverse regions and real adoption stories, make it essential reading for anyone shaping the future of food.' Andre Menezes, Co-Founder, TiNDLE Foods; Investor, Board Member & Advisor in global food and agri-tech
'Financial institution managers lending in agriculture are often caught in the climate vs. food security dilemma. While they themselves are not climate experts, they must learn to balance risks and returns. This book provides a clear-headed view of these challenges and serves very well as a practitioner's guide without being prescriptive.' Anubha Prasad, General Manager and Regional Head, Small Industries Development Bank of India, New Delhi
'Rarely does a food security book map so directly into an investment thesis. 'Will We Go Hungry?' lays out the risks—and climate-adaptation solutions-with real examples investors can actually back across agriculture: resilient inputs, clean energy, logistics, and finance. Practical, grounded, and action-oriented.' Luca Torre, Founder and Co-CEO, GAWA Capital
'Africa has many examples of indigenous superfoods and revitalizing such local, nutrient-dense, climate-resilient crops is essential to strengthening food sovereignty, improving public health, and building sustainable food systems across the continent. The book provides practical suggestions that actors in the innovation ecosystem can implement.' Wairimu Mwangi, Indigenous food systems advocate and enthusiast, Kenya
