Hungry for Profit: The Agribusiness Threat to Farmers, Food, and the Environment edited by Fred Magdoff, John Bellamy Foster and Frederick H. Buttel
Hungry for Profit presents a historical analysis and an incisive overview of the issues and debates surrounding the global commodification of agriculture. Contributors address the growing public concern over food safety and controversial developments in agricultural biotechnology including genetically engineered foods. This book also examines the extent to which our environmental, social, and economic problems are intertwined with the structure of global agriculture as it now exists.
