Book condition : very good. - Half the world is malnourished, the other half obese--both symptoms of the corporate food monopoly. To show how a few powerful distributors control the health of the entire world, Raj Patel conducts a global investigation, traveling from the green deserts of Brazil and protester-packed streets of South Korea to bankrupt Ugandan coffee farms and barren fields of India. What he uncovers is shocking--the real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa, an epidemic of farmer suicides, and the false choices and conveniences in supermarkets. Yet he also finds hope--in international resistance movements working to create a more democratic, sustainable, and joyful food system. ISBN 9781933633497.
