About the Book

In an age of climate catastrophes and extinction, we need to turn to the earth and to plants to learn, once again, how to live sustainably on earth. Proposals put forward by Big Ag and Big Tech to solve the intertwined climate and food crises will exacerbate both, says Vandana Shiva. Her detailed unpacking of the promises made by technology-oriented, lab-intensive digital agriculture reveals the dangers posed by fake and ultra-ultra-processed foods—to the environment; to increasing greenhouse gas emissions; to the health of animals; and to our health and food security. Food is the currency of life. The food web weaves the web of life, in co-operation and mutuality with the earth and nature. When this interdependence is ruptured the conditions for what Shiva calls the ‘metabolic disorder’ for climate change come into being. She argues powerfully for a food and climate future based on the regeneration of biodiversity
