FROM THE CRITICS
New Scientist
...marshals the medical, social and economic arguments for a more sustainable agricultural policy.
John Humphrys
...well argued and based on hard fact rather than sentiment. The essential message is one of hope. We can live better. We can eat well and eat safely.
Biologist
...an excellent source of recent case studies of methodologies for putting sustainability back on the map... Well indexed and referenced, and should provide much material for a university course.
Times Educational Supplement
...well-documented, coherently argued and free of romantic rural mythology.
BBC Wildlife Magazine
...this timely book makes a powerful case for a shift towards a more sustainable and community-led approach to rural economic life.
