One of the world's most formidable environmentalists --The Guardian

A star among environmental, activist, and anti-corporate circles --Vice

Who Really Feeds the World? is a powerful manifesto and a call-to-action for the solutions we need and the steps we need to take to survive in an era of climate collapse, threatened foodways, and urgent unsustainability.

The book is a rallying cry for agricultural justice, resilience, and genuine sustainability, and draws upon revolutionary environmental activist Vandana Shiva's 30+ years of research and accomplishments in the field. Instead of relying on genetic modification and large-scale monocropping to solve the world's food crisis, she proposes that we look to agroecology--the knowledge of the interconnectedness that creates food--as a truly life-giving alternative to the harmful industrial paradigms of Big Ag.

Shiva succinctly and eloquently lays out the networks of people and processes that feed the world, exploring issues of diversity, the needs of small farmers, the importance of seed saving, the movement toward localization, and the role of women in producing the world's food.
