Description: "Peter Rosset explains how the free trade policies and neoliberal economics of the WTO, American government and EU give us a food system that no one outside a small corporate elite wants. This guide sets out an alternative vision for agricultural policy taking it outside the WTO's ambit. Food is not just another commodity to be bought and sold. It goes to the heart of human livelihood and society."--Jacket.
