Food Wars
Beschrijving
Bol
Offers an analysis of how the West created the global food crisis. This book charts the evolution of the crisis and offers a way forward: the principle of food sovereignty, allowing the developing world to protect and sustain a diverse range of crops. Violent protests across the global South, in response to rocketing food prices from 2006 to 2008, highlighted an intrinsic flaw in the modern system of world trade-one that poses a serious threat to regional and international stability. In The Food Wars, Walden Bello traces the evolution of this crisis, examining its eruption in Mexico, Africa, the Philippines and China. Daring in vision and impassioned in tone, The Food Wars speaks out against the obscene imbalance in the most basic commodities between northern and southern hemispheres.
