Frances Moore Lappé | “Beyond Hunger: Toward Food”

“Beyond Hunger: Toward Food Democracy” Lappe begins exploring “thought traps” that block the pathway to solutions for so many: Primary is the false diagnosis that hunger results from scarcity that has kept the global focus fixed on production, using an industrial-chemical model of farming. She argues that this model itself so concentrates power and undermines food-producing resources that hunger and land and water degradation continue no matter how much is food grown. She underscores how this false frame has also led to agriculture worldwide contributing even more to heating our planet than all transportation causes.SHOW LESS
