Full description for Food is Different
This book explains what is happening to the world's agricultural systems and their farmers under the impact of neoliberal economics. What is at stake is the very future of our global food system and of each country's agricultural and farming systems. The livelihoods of rural people in both industrial and developing countries are under threat. The book explains what is happening to agriculture in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiating context, and unravels the complex ways in which agriculture in the North is subsidized. It sets out an alternative vision for agricultural policy, which would take it completely out of the WTO's ambit. Food is not just another commodity, but something which goes to the heart of human livelihood, culture and security.
