Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World Food System

i'd be more interested in this book if it had spent a larger portion of the book proposing concrete solutions/suggestions, rather than decrying well documented problems. also - it is so one sided. the solutions that patel DOES propose create problems in their own right - a truly "fair" discussion and assessment of the international food system would pay attention to these trade offs too. i tend to lean left, but i don't think that ignoring such challenges does anybody any favours.
