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 Confe?de?ration 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 Confe?de?ration 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. 410 $aNew ecologies for the twenty-first century 606 $aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 606 $aNature / Environmental Conservation & Protection$2bisacsh 606 $aNature 615 7$aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social 615 7$aNature / Environmental Conservation & Protection 615 0$aNature 700 $aHeller$b Chaia$01219183 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645999003321 996 $aFood, Farms & Solidarity$93005930 997 $aUNINA
