Editorial Reviews

Review

"Chock full of important points about the pitfalls of the industrial food system and ways to address them...a handy guide to good talking points about the food system...this small book goes beyond laying out the facts (though it does that as well). Prince Charles conveys real empathy -- for those struggling to feed their families, and for those attempting to solve the world's hunger problem with genetically-modified crops and intensified agriculture. If we could all speak so knowledgeably and kindly of these issues, perhaps the global food debate would be a bit more measured and informed." -- SeriousEats.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Road map to a better food future March 7, 2012
Format:Paperback
This essay, based upon the Prince of Wales' keynote address at the Future of Food conference at Georgetown University on May 4, 2011, paints a clear picture of course corrections we need to make without delay to avert looming food insecurity disasters around the world. In it he spells out the necessity of transitioning to local, bio-diverse, human-scaled, community-based organic food production as the sine qua non for our very survival on this planet. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and clear May 15, 2012
Format:Paperback
This is a thoughtful, passionate, well-reasoned argument from the Prince of Wales on the future of our food system. As Wendell Berry suggests in his introduction, Prince Charles has perhaps been the only "eminent person [who] has had both the clarity to see and the courage to speak candidly about the obvious failures and dangers of industrial agriculture." It has taken some courage for him to have this contrarian view, and I appreciate the bravery and intellectual effort that went into this speech.
