Özet
"Will free trade benefit transnational corporations or the millions who are currently malnourished? Will small farmers find new markets in the North? Or will they lose even their local markets to cheap, subsidized food from the North? Why should countries not protect their rural communities and ensure self-sufficiency in food production? Food security affects us all. There is no more important issue. This book is a clarion call to remove our ideological blinkers and think afresh."
