Abstract

Climate change has brought historic drought to southern Madagascar, but placing all the blame on nature lets malfeasant policies, some of which have been in place since colonialism, off the hook. Preventing future famine demands a bottom-up reorganization of Madagascar’s food system and its relationship to the world.
