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.

This multigenerational novel, by Walt Davis and Tony Winslett, opens in California in 1849. Thomas Bristol, fleeing vengeance from powerful enemies in England, leaves the sea to farm in the New World. He learns his new trade by association with successful Chinese farmers combined with his own innate intelligence. The lessons learned about the natural world and about life itself serve both him and his descendants well. Decades later, faulty science, government regulation, and poor policy decisions by scientists, bureaucrats, and farmers usher in a new philosophy of agriculture. Henry Weaver converts his in-laws' Ohio farm, which has been successful for two hundred years, to the industrial model. Sadly, the new philosophy is based on short-term gains that must be paid for with devastating long-term costs. The farm spirals into ruin, ravaged by ecological damage and financial losses, spawned by the new philosophy and its radical technology. The struggle of the Weaver family to recover the health of themselves, their finances, and their land offers a venue to illustrate that technology can heal the environment while providing the quantity and quality of food the world's people need in a sustainable and financially feasible manner.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: A+, University of Otago (New Zealand - Department of Anthropology), course: Global Politics of Food, 19 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This paper will look at the effects of the Green Revolution. As part of the imperial strategy of US foreign policy, the new agricultural strategy shows how the World food system does not only consist in food trade itself, but also comprises the industry of respective production factors. Through development strategies like the Green Revolution, the US manage to boost its own economy while pretending to have only altruistic and benevolent intentions. The interrelatedness of agricultural practices and the wider system of societal organization leads to the fact that this imperialism does not only impose economic standards but also affects the cultural sphere of the concerned countries.

Scholars, politicians, and activists worldwide are finally recognizing the severity of the global environmental crisis, yet serious threats to the environmental movement remain. Anti-environmentalists dismiss the very idea of a "crisis" as a mirage. Much less obvious, however, is the more subtle threat masquerading under the mantle of environmentalism itself. It is this threat that Green Delusions addresses. Writing from the standpoint of a committed environmentalist, Martin W. Lewis contends that many of the most devoted and strident "greens," those who propose a radical environmentalism, unwittingly espouse an ill-conceived doctrine that has devastating implications for the global ecosystem. In this book he distinguishes the main variants of eco-extremism, exposes the fallacies upon which such views ultimately flounder, and demonstrates that the policies advocated by their proponents would, if enacted, result in unequivocal ecological disaster. At once polemic and prescriptive, Green Delusions is an impassioned attempt to defend the environmental movement against extremist ideas that would lead to self-defeating political strategies.
