'Refreshingly fluent narrative, brimming full of stories and
metaphors' Tim O'Riordan, University of East Anglia, UK 'A great
balance between storytelling and analysis which points to the
critical need for gaining control over resources' Jacqueline Ashby,
CIAT, Colombia 'Full of supporting evidence and clear arguments'
Norman Uphoff, Cornell University, US 'A wonderful book, put
together with such vision and passion' Mark Ritchie, Institute of
Agriculture and Trade Policy, US 'A superb volume. This is a
valuable monograph that all policy-makers, scholars and farmers
must read to understand their roles and responsibilities' Vo-Tong
Xuan, Angiang University, Vietnam 'Beautifully written. The
implications of the book's ideas are deep and extensive' Julia
Guivant, University of Florianopolis, Brazil Something is wrong
with our agricultural and food systems. Despite great progress in
increasing productivity in recent decades, hundreds of millions of
people remain hungry and malnourished, and further millions suffer
for eating too much food or the wrong sort. Agri-Culture envisages
the expansion of a new form of food production and consumption
founded on more ecological principles and in harmony with the
cultures, knowledges and collective capacities of the producers
themselves. It draws on many stories of successful agricultural
transformation in developing and industrialized countries, but with
a warning that true prosperity will depend on the radical reform of
the institutions and policies that control global food futures, and
fundamental changes in the way we think. The time has come for the
next agricultural revolution.
