Soil And Soul: People Versus Corporate Power

A Must-Read for Anyone Concerned About the Future of Our Food System

In Soil And Soul, author Raj Patel tells the story of the global food system, from the small farmers who grow our food to the multinational corporations that control the food chain. Patel argues that the current food system is unsustainable and that it is destroying the environment and harming our health.

Patel's book is a powerful indictment of the corporate food system. He shows how corporations have used their power to consolidate control over the food chain, drive down prices for farmers, and push consumers to buy unhealthy processed foods. Patel also shows how the corporate food system is contributing to climate change, water pollution, and soil degradation.

Soil And Soul is a call to action. Patel argues that we need to change the way we produce and consume food. We need to support small farmers and sustainable agriculture. We need to demand that corporations be held accountable for the damage they are ng to our food system and our planet.

Soil And Soul is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our food system. Patel's book is a powerful indictment of the corporate food system and a call to action for change.
