It's not easy to eat well. To choose food wisely, you need to know
where it comes from and how it's produced. As consumers, most of us
don't know what we're getting and eating in our supermarkets and
restaurants. When rumours and food scares circulate in the media,
we panic. Since most of us know very little about the real state of
agriculture today and the ways in which the global agricultural
industry produces the foods that end up on our plates, we have no
basis on which to make informed judgements.

In this important new book, José Bové and
François Dufour - two men from modest farming
backgrounds who have become international icons of the resistance
to global capitalism - unveil the workings of the
agricultural industry today and lay down the principles for the
creation of a new agriculture for the twenty-first century.
Following on from their international bestseller The World is
not For Sale, Bové and Dufour have joined forces again to
build a constructive programme for the food of the future. They
seek to make available to every citizen the facts they need in
order to understand the crisis of agriculture today and to see how
we can move beyond it. Presenting a positive agenda for a new kind
of agriculture, they lay the foundations for a renewal of trust
between farmers and citizen-consumers in a way that would bring
food - and the production of food - back into the heart
of modern society.

Conclusion The Food War will not Happen
"Two French farmers, passionate about growing and eating good food,
make excellent spokesmen in the crusade to raise awareness of the
downward spiral of food quality as industrialisation and
globalisation take over."
