- catalog abstract ""John Madeley believes we must recognise that our current hi-tech, agrochemical-dependent, corporate-dominated farming system has failed to feed the hungry. He argues that we already have the experience on which to base a new approach - ideas such as sustainable agriculture, low-external-input agriculture, organic food production, permaculture and the reintegration of traditional farming techniques. The author outlines the changes that could offer viable livelihoods to resource-poor farmers and food for the hungry."--Jacket.".
