Stolen Harvest: The Hijacking of the Global Food Supply, Southend Press,

on small farmers, the environment, and the quality of the food we eat.
Dr Shiva has been an ecological activist and organic intellectual for the
past two decades. Her aim is to contextualise the notions of 'profit',
'progress' and 'growth' espoused by multinational, corporate culture. She

biodiversity and third world nations. She has collaborated on and written a
number of books that would interest anyone who wants to become more
