The Food Revolution We Need Now
Our world stands at a critical crossroads. While industrial agriculture claims to feed humanity, it's actually creating an unprecedented crisis of ecological devastation, farmer impoverishment, and widespread malnutrition. Physicist and activist Vandana Shiva challenges this destructive paradigm, exposing how corporate food systems threaten our very survival while offering a hopeful vision for sustainable alternatives. For ten thousand years, humans practiced ecological farming in harmony with nature. Yet in just fifty years, we've witnessed a devastating shift to chemical-intensive agriculture that treats soil as lifeless and plants as machines. This isn't progress - it's warfare against Earth itself. The consequences are catastrophic: desertified soils, depleted aquifers, and farmers poisoned by the very chemicals promised to save them. What's most shocking? Despite industrial agriculture's claims, small-scale farmers using agroecological methods already provide 70% of the planet's food while using only 30% of resources. The true foundations of our food system are living soil, pollinators, biodiversity, and local knowledge - not chemical corporations.
