| Zusammenfassung: | "The French radical farmers union Confederation Paysanne, with its charismatic leader Jose Bove, has led the world in demonstrating the possibility of a socially progressive future for farming. Rejecting the increasing intensification and industrialisation of agriculture, the Confederation has argued for the need for local food production by small, independent farmers - both for the sake of the quality of the food we consume and to support the kind of societies we want to live in "Patrick Herman and Richard Kuper demonstrate how the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy and now the WTOs Agreement on Agriculture are both designed to encourage an increasingly free-market, profit-maximising, destructive agriculture".--BOOKJACKET |
