About one billion people in the world is starving. Another billion are obese. Almost half the world population lives on a daily basis problem reduced food. The other half suffers from the typical problems associated with redundant power supply and the resulting dysfunction include diabetes, excess weight, cardiovascular problems.
is a paradox? Only apparent, Raj Patel argues, because this state of affairs is the inevitable corollary of a system that allows only a handful of big corporations to profit from the entire global food chain.
The owners of the food is exciting that an investigation reveals for the first time the background of the ongoing war for control of food resources: a real world tour that goes by the increase in suicides among farmers in Asia to the unfortunate consequences trade agreements between Mexico and the United States, the emergence of the landless movement in Brazil to the failure of many African agricultural production, to tap the sophisticated manipulation of consumers in the rich North.
At a time when we witness the rise in prices of all commodities, even in Western countries know and understand the global food policy means dealing with the themes of globalization and social justice, but also understand what it means producers and consumers to put strategies in place to protect your health and combat the excessive power of multinational corporations.
