Description
Who Really Feeds the World? is a powerful call to action for the solutions we need to survive in an era of climate collapse, threatened foodways, and urgent unsustainability. Vandana Shiva, a renowned environmental activist, presents a compelling alternative to the industrial paradigms of Big Ag, proposing agroecology as a truly life-giving approach to food production.
Shiva explores the networks of people and processes that feed the world, examining issues of diversity, the needs of small farmers, the importance of seed saving, and the movement toward localization. Her work highlights the role of women in producing the world's food and offers a vision for a more resilient and sustainable food system.
