Publisher Notes: Agricide
- The industrialization of American agriculture has recently emerged as a threat to this nation's future. It is responsible for widespread soil erosion, the depletion of deep-water aquifers, the deterioration of soil quality, and the pollution of our air, water, and food. Under the protection of GATT and the World Trade Organization, industrialized agriculture, boosted by the capitalistic hopes of genetic engineering biotechnology, is spreading worldwide. The global reach of agribusiness contributes to rural poverty and hunger as traditional farming practices are supplanted. The only beneficiary is agribusiness itself: the petrochemical industry (which manufactures pesticides and fertilizers, and which now monopolizes much of the world's agriculture seed stock); equipment manufacturers; the grain, livestock-feed, and pet-food industries; the pharmaceutical industry; and the wholesale food industry. If the structure and practice of agriculture is not quickly changed and made ecologically more sound, health-inducing, humane, and equitable, the next generation will face inevitable agricide. This book is a call to conscience to consumers and farmers alike; and it is a challenge to agribusiness, government, and agricultural scientists to be accountable and responsible.
