Description
Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future: The Case for an Ecological Food System and Against Manufactured Foods by Chris Smaje presents a powerful counterargument to the idea of an urban, high-energy, industrially manufactured food future. Smaje defends agroecological, small-scale farming and argues that this approach offers a low-carbon alternative to the industrial food system.
In this book, Smaje challenges the prevailing environmental discourse and presents a robust critique of the vision for an urban, industrialised future. He makes the case for a local, community-led approach to agriculture, one that puts power in the hands of local communities rather than high-tech corporates.
Smaje's book offers a nuanced understanding of the difference between a congenial, ecological way of living and a dystopian, factory-centred existence. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the food system and its impact on our world.
