- Abstract
In "The Agricultural Dilemma: How Not to Feed the World," Glenn Davis Stone explores the complex ideologies surrounding global agri-food systems. He delves into the historical and social forces that have shaped the explanations and solutions to the ongoing "food crisis." Stone critiques the dominant model of industrial agriculture and presents an alternative approach called "intensive agriculture," which emphasizes local labor and technology. He highlights the resilience and adaptability of small farmers practicing intensive agriculture, challenging the perception that modern agricultural forms are superior. Ultimately, Stone's book offers hope and the potential for collaboration between intensive agriculturalists in both the global North and South.
