«One of the top 7 books on feeding the world: Our current global food system is a violation of human rights, says Schanbacher. This passionate and informative book argues the current model for combating global hunger is too dependent on trade and international agribusiness. Schanbacher puts together a concise argument—examining global trade and corporate monopolisation of the food industry—on why food sovereignty is a more sustainable and effective approach to solving world hunger.»
