Recenzje

"An important and accessible guide for critical thinking to tackle the root causes of hunger. Read it to inoculate yourself against the food industry's fake news, and learn about the insurgent hope that food sovereignty offers." Raj Patel, author of Stuffed & Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System "Short and not at all sweet where destructive capital-intensive agriculture is concerned, this book delivers fact-based diagnoses and solutions to benefit people and planet. Armed with this information, the battle for good, nutritious food, a healthy planet, and an end to hunger and malnutrition everywhere is one everyone can join." Susan George, president of the board of the Transnational Institute
