Description
The Green Revolution Delusion is a fictional depiction of a real life drama that is playing out daily where ever industrial agriculture is practiced. In two generations agriculture has been changed radically. What was once a biological process driven by sunshine and rainfall and a prime generator of wealth has become, in many cases, an unsustainable industrial process dependent upon ever increasing inputs of energy and capital. This story is illustrated through the lives of several individuals and their families from the 19th century to the present day. Includes supplementary materials about the issue of modern agriculture.
