getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in 10 minutes.
Do you know that you’ll have dinner tonight? If so, you’re lucky. Nearly a billion people around the world are “food-insecure.” Howard G. Buffett – an Illinois farmer and president of an eponymous foundation endowed by his famous father, billionaire Warren E. Buffett – scours the globe for projects that will help end world hunger. Just as a farmer brings in about 40 harvests over a lifetime, author Buffett tells 40 stories about lessons he’s learned in philanthropy about trying to make a difference. He travels to dozens of countries, funds programs that work and diagnoses efforts that don’t succeed. He and his son Howard W. Buffett describe their work and their findings in this engaging book. getAbstract recommends their illuminating treatise to budding philanthropists; to those interested in conservation farming, sustainability, social issues and food security; and to everyone who knows what’s for dinner.
