Condemning industrial agriculture as a recipe for ecological and economic disaster, Shiva champions the small, independent farm: their greater productivity, their greater potential for social justice as they put more resources into the hands of the poor, and the biodiversity that is inherent to the traditional farming practiced in small-scale agriculture. What we need most in a time of changing climates and millions who are hungry, she argues, is sustainable, biologically diverse farms that are more resistant to disease, drought, and flood. \"The solution to climate change,\" she observes, \"and the solution to poverty are the same.\" \u003ci\u003eSoil Not Oil\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a solution based on self-organization, sustainability, and community rather than corporate power and profits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vandana Shiva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623170435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623170431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Vandana Shiva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046020903167,"sku":"9781623170431","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf921815-a21b-417b-8cdf-fca93ea73e43.jpg?v=1684982153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soil-not-oil-vandana-shiva-9781623170431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
