DESCRIPTION
Farmageddon: Late-twentieth-century conflict apparently over control of crops and food, with prospects of turning into the final struggle between the forces of life and the forces of death early in the twenty-first century - from The Farmageddon Lexicon.Farmageddon lifts the veil of secrecy to reveal exactly what is going on down on the farm and on the supermarket shelf. Cutting through both corporate rhetoric and government misinformation, it lays bare the dark culture that permeates biotechnology, as well as who stands to benefit from this Faustian tinkering with the very stuff of life. Unashamedly critical, Farmageddon deals head-on with the 21st century equivalent of the nuclear industry. It also demonstrates that biotechnology can be resisted. It will appeal to all who value healthy food and a healthy society.

Farmageddon doesn't deserve the previous negative reviews. The reviews are so critcal of Kneen's one or two erroneous details about biochemistry, that they can't see the "forest for the trees" and totally miss the spirit of the book. Their attack of the author makes me wonder if they aren't in some way connected to the food industry with the intent to discredit the major premise of the book which challenges the ethics and social benefits of biotechnology. Kneen's premise is no different than those of other activists against the dangers of biotechnology and the multi-national corporations that monopolize it. As an activist for the organic lifestyle and a nurse, I recommend this book. We need more authors like Kneen. This is a battle for public health and the food industry is so ruled by politics and the bottom line of the almighty dollar, that they will do anything to convince us otherwise. The food industry's deceptive tactics are no different from the tobacco industry. Despite what they say to the contrary, neither are interested in the well-being of the public. The more people that read books like this, stay informed, and stand up to the food industry, the better chance our world will have for agricultural and economic sustainability.
