Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Trade paperback. A passionate, important and visionary book about the relationship between food and cities. It taps into the current preoccupations with food and the environment and offers hope for the future, and is a brilliant mix of polemic and provocative argument.

Publisher's description:

Examines the way in which modern food production has damaged the balance of human existence. This book reveals that we have yet to resolve a centuries-old dilemma - one which holds the key to a host of current problems, from obesity, the inexorable rise of the supermarkets, to the destruction of the natural world.
