The world's food supply is in the grip of a profound crisis.
Humanity's ability to feed itself is threatened by a wasteful,
globalized agricultural industry, whose relentless pursuit of profit
is stretching our planet's ecosystems to breaking point. Rising food
prices have fuelled instability across the world, while industrialized
agriculture has contributed to a health crisis of massive proportions,
with effects ranging from obesity and diabetes to cancers caused by
pesticides.
In _Who Really Feeds the World?_, leading environmentalist Vandana
Shiva rejects the dominant, greed-driven paradigm of industrial
agriculture, arguing instead for a radical rethink of our relationship
with food and with the environment. Industrial agriculture can never
be truly sustainable, but it is within our power to create a food
system that works for the health and well-being of the planet and all
humanity, by developing ecologically friendly farming practices,
nurturing biodiversity, and recognizing the invaluable role that small
farmers can play in feeding a hungry world.
