Every year, the world’s farmers produce a lot of food for people to eat. Yet every night, millions of people around the world go to bed hungry. Why are people going without food when the earth is able to produce so much? In this non-fiction graphic novel, Max Axiom and the Society of Super Scientists go on a fact-finding mission to discover the reasons behind food scarcity. Young readers can join the team to find out why many people deal with food insecurity and learn ways that they can help.
