Kimbrell, Andrew

Examines what the author calls the corporate lies, or myths of industrial agriculture, and features over thirty essays in which the authors examine the industrial agricultural system and its negative impact on the environment, human health, and farm communities; and discuss the possibility of an organic food future.

Discuses the ecological and social consequences of industrialization on the world's food supply, charging that the industrial model of food production is harmful to nature, biodiversity, farmers, and consumers, and describes a specific vision for the future of agriculture based on organic methods.
