In Food, Farms, and Solidarity, Chaia Heller analyzes the group's complex strategies and campaigns, including a call for a Europe-wide ban on GM crops and hormone-treated beef, and a protest staged at a McDonald's. Her study of the Confédération Paysanne shows the challenges small farms face in a postindustrial agricultural world. Heller also reveals how the language the union uses to argue against GMOs encompasses more than the risks they pose; emphasizing solidarity has allowed farmers to focus on food as a cultural practice and align themselves with other workers. Heller's examination of the Confédération Paysanne's commitment to a vision of alter-globalization, the idea of substantive alternatives to neoliberal globalization, demonstrates how ecological and social justice can be restored in the world.New ecologies for the twenty-first centurySocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialbisacshNature / Environmental Conservation & ProtectionbisacshNatureSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialNature / Environmental Conservation & ProtectionNatureHeller Chaia1219183ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK996599570503316Food, Farms & Solidarity3005930UNISA
