Description
"This important book exposes our wasteful, unhealthy industrialized food system--while also charting the inspiring emergence of a food movement worldwide... . Wayne Roberts follows the creative alternatives emerging on all sides, from peasant movements to urban gardens, from organic and fair-trade campaigners to policy-makers newly aware of ways to rewire our food system so it produces health and wellbeing instead of hunger."--Back cover.
Description
Wayne Roberts puts under the microscope a global food system that is under strain from climate change and economic disaster. He shows how a world food system based on supermarkets and agribusiness corporations is unsustainable and looks at new models of producing healthy food from all over the world. Wayne Roberts is a leading North American writer, activist, and practitioner in community food security. Author and columnist for 'NOW Magazine', he's on the board of the Community Food Security Coalition and Food Secure Canada, and coordinates the Toronto Food Policy Council, the most respected city food group in the world.
