Small Steps Towards Abundance: Crops for a More Sustainable Agriculture

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The shops and supermarkets of the developed world paint a false picture of abundance. Acres of shelves contain every prepared food imaginable. There are thousands of square miles of glistening perfect to the eye fruits and vegetables and endless displays of refrigerated meat. Why then should we worry about food? Actually these sights are like a painted screen that hides a desolate landscape. The abundance of the supermarket is a false one. In truth much of humanity is chronically, mercilessly hungry.
