The Future of Food examines and explains the not-so-“green revolution” of agriculture, showing how genetically modified monoculture crops have taken over traditional farming’s diverse crops and seed saving practices. Corporate agribusiness, without regulation, has been able to introduce super crops designed to withstand the harshest ...
