Description

Understanding the impact of modern farming practices on our health and wellbeing is crucial in these times of ecological peril. Vandana Shiva explores how the shift towards chemical farming has led to a decline in soil fertility, plant diversity, and ultimately, human nutrition.

The author argues that the rapid spread of chronic diseases is closely linked to changes in our diets and the way we grow food. She examines the effects of monocultures, industrial food production, and the dominance of processed foods on our health. Shiva also highlights the importance of rice in many cuisines, particularly in India.

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to philosophies of human diet, health, and healing that have been proven over thousands of years. By reconnecting with time-tested systems, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to cultivate healthy food, soil, and bodies.
