The Metabolic Disorder of Climate Change
Vandana Shiva
Paperback
$ 19.95
In an age of climate catastrophes and extinction , we demand to turn back to nature and get wind , once again , how to live sustainably on satellite terra firma — begin with our kinship to food . Four billion yr ago , Earth was a red-hot , lifeless planet . Through the appendage of development , the Earth and its diversity of living organisms bit by bit reduced the amount of atomic number 6 in the air . About 200,000 years ago , the condition aligned for our own species — Homo sapiens — to emerge and thrive .
But what will it take to retain to survive ?
InThe Nature of Nature , world - renowned environmental creative thinker and activist Vandana Shiva argues that food is the up-to-dateness of life , a thread woven throughout the web ofalllife , indivisible from Earth and its natural systems . When this interdependence is ruptured — as it is now — the conditions for the “ metabolic disorder ” of climate change and countless other bionomic asymmetry come into being .
proposal put forward by Big Ag and Big Tech to solve the lace climate and nutrient crises will only exacerbate both . With pellucidity and a detailed analysis , Shiva unpack the put on promises made by engineering science - oriented , lab - intensive digital agribusiness , revealing the dangers posed by imitation and extremist - process intellectual nourishment — peril to the environment , to increasing greenhouse petrol emissions , to the health of animals , and to our health and food security .
InThe Nature of Nature , Shiva takes a powerful base , arguing with importunity and cacoethes for a nutrient and mood future based not on techno - optimism , hallucination , and corporate delusion , but on the natural regeneration of biodiversity in partnershipwiththe biosphere . extolment for Vandana Shiva:“She ’s been called the ‘ Gandhi of grain , ’ the ‘ rock star ’ of the anti - GMO movement and an ‘ eco - warrior goddess . ’ . . . Above all , [ she ] is a unswerving believer that the food we eat issue . It makes us who we are , physically , culturally and spiritually . ”—BBC
