'One of the world's most prominent radical scientists.' The
Guardian 'A star among environmental, activist, and anti-corporate
circles.' Vice 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.
