There is growing popular fear over possible pesticide contamination of food and the microbiological safety of the food supply. This work explains why corporate agribusiness is a rising threat to farmers, the environment, and consumers. Ranging in subject from the politics of hunger to the new agricultural biotechnologies, the book addresses the reasons for the expansion of hunger despite the increase of world food supplies, and points the way toward organic, sustainable solutions to the problems of food supply and distribution.
