The great climate robbery provides valuable
information about how the industrial food system
causes climate change, how food and agribusiness
corporations are getting away with it, and what can
be done to turn things around. The various chapters
in this collection document the ill effects of this
industrial food system such as the growing hunger,
the destruction of rural peoples’ livelihoods, the
loss of biodiversity and cultures, the exploitation of
labour and a range of health calamities.
This timely anthology by the international NGO
Grain shows how food sovereignty is critical to any
lasting and just solution to climate change. With
governments, particularly those from the main
polluting countries, abdicating their responsibility
to deal with the problem, it has become ever more
critical for people to take action into their own
hands. Changing the food system is perhaps the
most important and effective place to start.
The great climate robbery will help readers to better
understand the ways in which corporations seek to
increase their control over the food system so that
this control can be more effectively challenged.
