review 1: A must-read for anyone who takes the future of the planet seriously, Soil Not Oil dare us to imagine a world where people matter more than profits.With Soil Not Oil, Vandana Shiva brilliantly reveals what connects humanity's most urgent food crises--food insecurity, peak oil, and climate change--and why any attempt to solve one without addressing the others will get us nowhere.Condemning industrial biofuels and agriculture as recipes for ecological and economic disaster, Shiva champions the small independent farm instead. With millions hungry and the earth's future at peril, only sustainable, biologically diverse farms that are more resistant to disease, drought, and flood can both feed and safeguard the world for generations to come. Bold and visionary, Soil Not Oil calls... more for a return to sound agricultural principles--and a world based on self-organization, community, and environmental justice.
review 2: Only the most amazing feminist scientist in the world could explain why the "Green Revolution" is killing the planet *and* give so many simple alternatives, like seed saving and crop rotation, backed up with evidence. I didn't know how many healthy soil bacterias were in a cubic inch of soil, and that industrial fertilizers are reducing plants abilities to get the right minerals from the soil, which means we may be eating mineral deficient food. I didn't realize how much energy is actually wasted creating food. And I had no idea that 125,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide because of the Green Rev. This is an astonishing and awesome read. less
