By Wenonah Hauter

In this groundbreaking book, investigative journalist Wenonah Hauter exposes the hidden battle for the food we eat. She reveals the powerful forces that control our food system, from the seed companies that own the genetic building blocks of our food to the supermarkets that dominate the way we shop. Hauter shows how these corporations have consolidated their power, squeezing out small farmers and local businesses, and driving up the cost of food. She also exposes the hidden dangers of our food supply, from the antibiotics that are fed to animals to the pesticides that are sprayed on our crops.

The Fight Over Food is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of food. It is a powerful indictment of the corporate food system and a call to action for a more just and sustainable future.
