本书作者耗时两年多,实地访察全球各地的农业状况,结合大量科学数据,揭露现代集约化农业是如何在“养活全球人口”的美好愿景下,走上了一条损害动物福利、污染地球环境乃至危害人类自身的歧途:
动物们困在狭小的农场里,超越极限地生产肉、蛋、奶,默默消耗了全球一半的抗生素,以致催生抗药性极强的超级细菌;全球1/3的谷物成了农场动物的饲料,却有大量穷人在忍饥挨饿;大型养殖场制造出巨量的排泄物和有毒气体,干净的水和空气成为其周围居民的奢求;发展中国家的农民为购买强效农药和转基因种子,举债甚至破产,最终走上自杀一途……
当前农业是否有更好的运作方式?通过精确的数据与生动的实地调查报告,本书以求实的科学精神和动情的人文关怀,向我们敲响了警钟:倘若不加以反思与改变,农业将成为我们的末日;如何发展农业,与人类的未来、地球的明天息息相关。
