"...To write a book that can inform, teach and undercover the concealed or controversy truths, is truly dwelling in a world of honesty, personal effort, hard work and toughness - not to mention the immense natural talent. It is my inability to distance myself that seizes me when I try to comment the distinguished book written by Professor Josué de Castro: - Geography of Hunger" Raquel de Queiroz - Diário de Notiícias - Rio de Janeiro.

"In Geography of Hunger, Josué de Castro brings his important study to the degree of a masterpiece, in its broadness and continuos effort. He not only is able to combine his previous readings, trips, observations and incredible intuition and include all this in the assessment of the aspects of hunger in Brazil, but also enunciate the data in logical schemes, worthy of an intelligent campaign and radical humanism." Luiz da Câmara Cascudo - Diário de Notícias - Rio de Janeiro.

"The author had no wish to accomplish a revealing or compilation work, but a book that would represent the first deep dive, with eyes wide open, into the enigma of feeding the country through time. This book will remain as a legacy and a direct message to our people and government, because it is so clear and scientific correct." Homero Homem - Jornal do Brazil - Rio de Janeiro.
