About This Book
In Who Really Feeds the World?, Vandana Shiva examines the failures of agribusiness in addressing global food needs. She argues that industrial agriculture has led to environmental degradation and food insecurity rather than solutions.
The book contrasts these issues with the promise of agroecology, which integrates ecological principles into farming practices. Shiva emphasizes how diverse, small-scale farming can restore soil health and biodiversity.
Through her analysis, Shiva advocates for a shift away from corporate-dominated food systems toward sustainable methods that empower local communities and ensure long-term food sovereignty.
This work draws on Shiva's expertise in environmental activism to propose actionable changes in global agriculture policies and practices.
