Description
Vandana Shiva's Soil, Not Oil explores the interconnectedness of food crises, oil dependency and climate change. She argues that industrial agriculture and biofuels are recipes for ecological disaster, while small independent farmers offer a sustainable alternative. Shiva contends that humanity faces a stark choice: pursue a market-centred approach that will ultimately make the planet unliveable, or strive for an oil-free future that offers a decent living for all. This edition features a new introduction by the author, outlining recent developments in ecology and environmentalism, and offering new prescriptions for the environmental movement. By championing small-scale agriculture and local economies, Shiva seeks to create a more sustainable food system that can resist disease, drought and flooding.
