| Summary, etc | Our agricultural and food systems are not meeting everyone's needs, and despite great progress in increasing productivity, hundreds of millions of people remain hungry and malnourished. This book describes a different form of agriculture: one founded more on ecological principles and which is also more harmonious with people and their cultures. |
