Böcker av F. Bailey (Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics Norwood

Meet the Food Radicals introduces the reader to twenty-seven individuals to offer insight into practices and solutions that shape how we farm, how our food system operates, and how we eat. Neither valorizing nor criticizing any of the views, the authors aim for understanding and to "translate" different farming philosophies, food politics, and notions about how agriculture and the economy interact for a broader audience of economists, social scientists, andordinary consumers.

In this book agricultural researchers present both sides of heavily debated agricultural and food issues. They answer questions and explain scholarly and scientific research on topics such as organic food, the safety of pesticides, livestock living conditions, the use of antibiotics in livestock intended for consumption, the effect of agriculture on the environment, and more.
