ITEM OVERVIEW
The French radical farmers union Confederation Paysanne, with its charismatic leader Jose Bove, has led the world in demonstrating the possibility of a socially progressive future for farming. Rejecting the increasing intensification and industrialization of agriculture, the Confederation has argued for the need for local food production by small, independent farmers—both for the sake of the quality of the food we consume and to support the kind of societies we want to live in. Originally published in French, this edition has been expanded and adapted for an English-speaking audience. It's the Confederation's manifesto (and general analysis) of sorts, and includes an introduction by Jose Bove.
