Book about the world food system & making it democratic

This looks like an interesting read - thought I'd pass it on -

RAJ PATEL's book STUFFED AND STARVED: The Hidden Battle for the
World Food System.

"One of the most dazzling books I have read in a very long time. The
product of a brilliant mind and a gift to a world hungering for
justice."

—Naomi Klein, author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine.

Half the world is malnourished, the other half obese—both symptoms
of the corporate food monopoly. To show how a few powerful
distributors control the health of the entire world, Raj Patel
conducts a global investigation. What he uncovers is shocking—the
real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa, an epidemic of farmer
suicides, and the false choices and conveniences in supermarkets. Yet
he also finds hope—in international resistance movements working to
create a more democratic, sustainable, and joyful food system. From
seed to store to plate, STUFFED AND STARVED explains the steps to
regain control of the global food economy, stop the exploitation of
farmers and consumers, and rebalance global sustenance.

Raj Patel, former policy analyst for Food First, a leading food think
tank, is a visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley Center for African
Studies. He has written for the Los Angeles Times and the Guardian,
and though he has worked for the World Bank, WTO, and the UN, he's
also been tear-gassed on four continents protesting them.
