Food Is Different: Why We Must Get The WTO Out Of Agriculture - Softcover
Book 18 of 20: Global Issues
Synopsis
In this book, global food and farming researcher-activist Peter Rosset explains how the runaway free trade policies and neoliberal economics of the WTO, American government and European Union kill farmers, and give us a food system that nobody outside of a small corporate elite wants. This is an essential guide that unravels and demystifies the confusing negotiations at the WTO, and the debate over agricultural subsidies, revealing the bankruptcy of major government positions from both the North and the South. What is at stake is the very future of our global food system and of each country's unique food and farming systems. This book sets out an alternative vision for agricultural policy, taking it completely out of the WTO's ambit. Food is not just another commodity, to be bought and sold like a microchip, but something which goes to the heart of human livelihood, culture and society.
