Description
Debunking the notion that our current food crisis should be addressed through industrial agriculture and genetic modification, writer and activist Vandana Shiva argues that those forces are if truth be told the ones chargeable for the hunger problem within the first place. Who Truly Feeds the World? is a powerful manifesto calling for agricultural justice and genuine sustainability, drawing upon Shiva’s thirty years of research and accomplishments within the field. As a substitute of relying on genetic modification and large-scale monocropping to resolve the world’s food crisis, she proposes that we glance to agroecology—the knowledge of the interconnectedness that creates food—as a in reality life-giving alternative to the industrial paradigm. Shiva succinctly and eloquently lays out the networks of people and processes that feed the world, exploring issues of diversity, the needs of small famers, the importance of seed saving, the movement toward localization, and the role of women in producing the world’s food.
