Why does our global food system gives us expensive, unhealthy and
bad-tasting food, where we pay more for packaging and long-distance
shipping than we do for the food itself? Why do farmers and
peasants from around the world lead massive protests each and every
time the World Trade Organization meets? Peter Rosset explains how
the runaway free trade policies and neoliberal economics of the
WTO, American government and European Union kill farmers, and give
us a food system that nobody outside of a small corporate elite
wants. This essential guide sets out an alternative vision for
agricultural policy, taking it completely out of the WTO's ambit.
Food is not just another commodity, to be bought and sold like a
microchip, but something which goes to the heart of human
livelihood, culture and society.
