World leaders have committed themselves to halving hunger by the year 2015 as a first step towards food for all. But is this an achievable target? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Madeley's new book shows we already have the experience on which to base a new approach to agricultural production and feeding the world's whole population. Millions need better access to the land from which the market forced them, and a more equitable income distribution so that the poor can afford the available food. This is part of the solution. But the other part is an innovative, multi-faceted move away from a monoculture production system dependent on ever more tractors and fossil fuels, dangerous chemicals, and hybrid seeds monopolized by a handful of giant corporations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead, he shows it is feasible to look to the spread of a low-external input approach, a reintegration of traditional farming techniques, new farming practices like organic agriculture and permaculture, and a range of 'green' technologies which can all play a role in bringing world agriculture back to a path which offers a viable livelihood to farmers, food for the hungry, and all without harming the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Madeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842770195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842770191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.20w x 0.64d","brand":"John Madeley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424496730367,"sku":"9781842770191","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_456b45a4-ed36-4962-ab25-49b9c34695bd.jpg?v=1761530605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-for-all-john-madeley-9781842770191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
