Distributed by Island Press “Finally, a book that inspires awe, stimulates outrage, and offers vision -- all at the same time. Fatal Harvest is a banquet of brilliant insights. It shows how we can break through the myths that paralyze us as we follow the food to make sense of our world. We learn we don’t have to degrade our planet in order to feed ourselves. Thank you for waking us up before it’s too late!” – Frances Moore Lappé, co-author of Hopes Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet. JOIN THE CAMPAIGN: Fatal Harvest will be the central organizing tool for a national campaign to promote alternatives to the current industrial agricultural system. CAFF is a proud member of the Organic & Beyond campaign, a coalition of over a dozen environmental and agricultural advocacy organizations working to maintain strong organic standards and promote agriculture that is local, family operated, biologically diverse, humane, and socially just. The ultimate goal of this campaign is to replace the industrial agriculture system with a new vision of farming and the natural world.
