Who Really Feeds the World?: The Failures of Agribusiness and the Promise of Agroecology Paperback – June 28, 2016

Vendana Shiva is who I want to be when I grow up (when will that be? I'm 40, haha), but I could never hope be as essential to humanity as she is. She continually brings into the light the challenges, shortcomings, and- most importantly- logical and achievable solutions to the problems with our agricultural and food supply chain. She writes in an accessible way, and is a neverending fount of knowledge. Read everything she writes!

Dr. Vandana Shiva books are a wealth of information. Her style is articulate, easy to understand, and right to the point. This book is Inspiring, motivating, and a real eye opener! A reading must for every parent and health conscious consumer.

I wish I could give this book 100 stars. It’s a book every human should read! The fight between agroecology and industrial agriculture is of a similar nature as between big bad pharma and evidence-based medicine or between Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics. Industrial agriculture will surely produce food with less human labor but it consumes so much precious resources of the earth including water, good soil, good air - and causes famines, floods, diseases, pollution, and destruction all around. It is literally “eating up our Mother Earth” that has sustained us for hundreds of millions of years in a span of just 50 to 100 years. What are we going to leave for our children? Agroecology has much evidence in its favor. This book and all of Dr. Vandana Shiva’s work is worth a Nobel prize. But It seems the world is insane and will not wake up without a rude awakening.

A great book with unique information and writing style

I wish this book was widely available to all 5th-6th grade elementary school students! "Teach your children"!

This book is insightful in bringing to light the fact that the food we consume is chemical-filled and controlled by few conglomerates. It's also great to see alternative ways we can grow cheap, healthy food.It may be that I'm used to a particular style of writing from my fictional books, because the style of language used here felt less descriptive with an air of danger ⚡ (I called it 'conspiracy talk). Nonetheless 4/5

Wow, this book/author really organizes the whole universe of alternative concepts to our present culture paradigm of planet killing into a very coherent and specific course of planetary protection...reads like an instruction manual to how to save our ecosystem...Please read this book!

Really loved this inspirational work about food, farming, ecological healing, regenerative agriculture, and innovation. I’ll be sharing this with my friends and family for sure!
