What is Soil Not Oil : Environmental Justice in a Time of Climate Crisis about?

With Soil Not Oil , Vandana Shiva connects the dots between industrial agriculture and climate change. Shiva shows that a world beyond dependence on fossil fuels and globalization is both possible and necessary. Condemning industrial agriculture as a recipe for ecological and economic disaster, Shivas champion is the small, independent farm: their greater productivity, their greater potential for social justice as they put more resources into the hands of the poor, and the biodiversity that is inherent to the traditional farming practiced in small-scale agriculture. What we need most in a time of changing climates and millions hungry, she argues, is sustainable, biologically diverse farms that are more resistant to disease, drought, and flood. In her trademark style, she draws solutions to our worlds most pressing problems on the head of a pin: The solution to climate change, she observes, and the solution to poverty are the same. Using Shivas organization Navdanyapraised by Barbara Kingsolver as a small, green Eden framed against the startling blue backdrop of the Himalayasas a model, Soil Not Oil lays out principles for feeding the planet that are socially just and environment
