Food, famine and land loss in literature query
*********************************************
From: Leah Milne <gits1013@yahoo.com>

I was interested in looking at the effects of land loss (particularly
related to the land grab problem whereby cash-rich, land-poor nations buy
land in other areas for agricultural use) and famine as a result of the food
industry. I have found many non-fiction sources (though I would love to hear
of more) but I am particularly interested in Asian literature (fiction and
poetry) that can be peripherally or directly related to this issue. Could
anyone please point me to literary sources which deal with the issues of
agricultural land loss and hunger that can tie in to this? Thanks in
advance!
