The End of Food-
the coming crisis in the food industry

This is a must read – no two ways about it. Every chapter reveals new and different information on the food situation from around the world. “…because food production now occurs in an entirely global context, with different commodities produced wherever costs are lowest and then simply moved to areas of demand, the system is extraordinarily vulnerable. Any disruption in the means of transportation (say, because of rising energy costs) or in the ability of exporters to export (perhaps due to massive climate-related crop failures) poses the very real risk of isolating entire regions that now specialize in only single crops or, worse, produce very little of their own food and depend mainly on imports….For these reasons, many critics have argued that change must be driven from outside the system, and that the objectives must be to replace some or all of that system with something entirely new.” Author Paul Roberts charts the history of food production and discusses issues of diet, health and the political and economic influence of the food industry in this very readable and highly informative text.
