Información de la editorial
Descripción de contraportada
"In Balancing on a Planet, David Cleveland sets forth the evidence for this plea: if our world is to have a future, we must engage in serious critical thinking about the practices and consequences of our current food system and find immediate ways to transform it to one that is more sustainable." --Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, and author of Food Politics "Achieving sustainable food production on earth is a destination whose route has not yet been charted. But in mapping the trajectory of the global agrifood system--from soil condition to social organization--and examining the critical concepts, values, and assumptions that underlie it, Cleveland has begun to reveal for us what that route--and the destination itself--might someday look like." --Dr. Deborah K. Letourneau, Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz "With real examples and evidence, Cleveland presents a convincing argument for how traditional agriculture can help us build a sustainable food system. Presenting on new synergies and ways of thinking, and avoiding the traps of technological fixes and economic imperatives, this book makes the urgent need for change crystal clear." --Stephen R. Gliessman, Professor Emeritus of Agroecology, University of California, Santa Cruz "David Cleveland does more than just set out his view of the future of agrifood systems in a world of scarce resources; he provides the reader with the tools to make up her own mind, and arrive at her own conclusions." --Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food "In this tour de force, Cleveland marshals and sustains impartiality on topics that are lightning rods for challenge and debate: the origin of the current world food crisis... he engages the reader in a deep and compelling account that weaves together personal experience, basic facts, empirical examples, and, most importantly, objectivity."--Anabel Ford and Genesis Gilroy, Current Anthropology "If readers are searching for an interdisciplinary text on world food problems and sustainable agrifood systems, they will be pleased with the author's exhaustive presentation of theory from a range of disciplines, and the approachable explanation of terms, data, agricultural concepts, and evidence-based conclusions. The book effectively challenges commonly held values and empirically based assumptions about food and agriculture to raise questions about sustainable solutions to future food crises."--Timothy Silberg and Robert B. Richardson, Agricultural Systems "Cleveland embarks on an exploration of the drivers of agrifood system failure and sustainability in search of [solutions to global food problems]. This is no small task, and the book is admirable in its approach to tackling the breadth of this topic."--Fabrice DeClerck, BioScience
