They share the understanding of the wide-rippling effects of agriculture on human and environmental health, and on local and national economies. Their account, guided by a skillful and knowledgeable journalist is both informative and inspiring. Easily read in concert with Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, The World is Not for Sale is a bid to make its title true. ‹ MR
