What is Perilous Bounty : The Looming Collapse of American Farming and How We Can Prevent It about?

An Unsettling Journey Into The United States' Disaster-bound Food System, And An Exploration Of Possible Solutions, From Leading Food Politics Commentator And Farmer-turned-journalist Tom Philpott. More Than A Decade After Michael Pollan's Game-changing The Omnivore's Dilemma Transformed The Conversation About What We Eat, A Combination Of Global Diet Trends And Corporate Interests Have Put American Agriculture Into A State Of Quiet Emergency, From Dangerous Drought In California--which Grows More Than Fifty Percent Of The Fruits And Vegetables We Eat--to Catastrophic Topsoil Loss In The Breadbasket Heartland Of The United States. Whether Or Not We Take Heed, These Urgent Crises Of Industrial Agriculture Will Define Our Future. In Perilous Bounty, Farmer-turned-journalist Tom Philpott Explores And Exposes The Small Handful Of Seed And Pesticide Corporations, Investment Funds, And Magnates Who Benefit From The Trends That Imperil Us, With On-the-ground Dispatches Featuring The Scientists Documenting The Damage And The Farmers And Activists Who Are Valiantly And Inventively Pushing Back. Resource Scarcity Looms On The Horizon, But Rather Than Pointing Us Toward An Inevitable Doomsday
