Reporting from Africa, Mexico, India, and the United States, Timothy A. Wise's Eating Tomorrow discovers how in country after country, agribusiness and its well-heeled philanthropic promoters have actually exacerbated food crises. Most of the world, Wise reveals, is fed by hundreds of millions of small-scale farmers, people with few resources and simple tools but a keen understanding of what and how to grow. These same farmers - who already grow more than 70 percent of the food eaten in developing countries - can show the way forward as climate rises and population increases.

By the year 2050, Earth's population will double. If we continue with current farming practices, vast amounts of wilderness will be lost, millions of birds and billions of insects will die, and the public will lose billions of dollars as a consequence of environmental degradation. Clearly, there must be a better way to meet the need for increased food production. Written as part memoir, part instruction, and part contemplation, Tomorrow's Table argues that a judicious blend of two important strands of agriculture--genetic engineering and organic farming--is key to helping feed the world's growing population in an ecologically balanced manner. Pamela Ronald, a geneticist, and her husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer, take the reader inside their lives for roughly a year, allowing us to look over their shoulders so that we can see what geneticists and organic farmers actually do. The reader sees the problems that farmers face, trying to provide larger yields without resorting to expensive or environmentally hazardous chemicals, a problem that will loom larger and larger as the century progresses. They learn how organic farmers and geneticists address these problems. This book is for consumers, farmers, and policy decision makers who want to make food choices and policy that will support ecologically responsible farming practices. It is also for anyone who wants accurate information about organic farming, genetic engineering, and their potential impacts on human health and the environment.

What is family farming? How can it help meet the challenges confronting the world? How can it contribute to a sustainable and more equitable development? Not only is family farming the predominant form of agriculture around the world, especially so in developing countries, it is also the agriculture of the future. By declaring 2014 the “International Year of Family Farming,” the United Nations has placed this form of production at the center of debates on agricultural development. These debates are often reduced to two opposing positions. The first advocates the development of industrial or company agriculture, supposedly efficient because it follows industrial processes for market-oriented mass production. The second promotes the preservation of family farming with its close links between family and farm. The authors of this book wish to enrich the debates by helping overcome stereotypes – which often manifest through the use of terms such as “small-scale farming, subsistence farming, peasant, etc.” Research work has emphatically demonstrated the great adaptability of family farming systems and their ability to meet the major challenges of tomorrow but it has also not overlooked their limitations. The authors explore the choices facing society and possible development trajectories at national and international levels, and the contribution that agriculture will have to make. They call for a recommitment of public policies in favor of family farming in developing countries and stress the importance of planning actions targeted at and tailored to the family character of agricultural models. But, above all, they highlight the need to overcome strictly sectoral rationales, by placing family farming at the core of a broader economic and social project. This book is the result of a collaborative effort led by CIRAD and encapsulates three decades of research on family farming. It will interest researchers, teachers and students, and all those involved in national and international efforts for the development of countries in the South.

If you give a damn about your kids, you owe it to them to read this book. North America is fast approaching a major agricultural crisis because our present system of farming is unsustainable. It is unsustainable because it depends so heavily upon unlimited supplies of oil, gas-based fertilizers, and water, all of which are rapidly running out. It is unsustainable because we are destroying our soil with bad management practices. It is unsustainable because family farms cannot compete with factory farms. Whether from ignorance, lack of concern, or self-indulgent greed, in our blind pursuit of the good life for ourselves, we are squandering irreplaceable natural resources that rightfully belong to our progeny. As a consequence of our mismanagement, we are leaving behind a legacy of problems that may prove insurmountable-unless we change our ways very soon.

A basic factor in our realization of mankind?s most sought goal, agricultural abundance, good seeds can be a means of bringing about an Age of Plenty. Seeds are the germ of life, a beginning and an end, the fruit of yesterday?s harvest and the promise of tomorrow?s. The seeds we use today enable our farmers to produce a variety of healthy and hardy food and fiber crops that were virtually unknown a few years ago. Our plant breeders and geneticists have accomplished miracles in the development of more useful plants.Contents:The Importance of SeedsThe Life Processes of SeedsThe Production of SeedsThe Processing of SeedsThe Certification of SeedsThe Testing of SeedsThe Marketing of Seeds
