Title: Opinionated, false philosophical perspective masquarading as factually based
Review: I'm writing a research paper on the costs/benefits and effects of GMO crops on famine, malutrition, and undernutrition in Africa, and picked up this book, thinking it would be helpful. Pence is a philosopher, and not an expert on food studies or agriculture, yet makes generalized claims and criticizes other theorists and agronomists and ecologists...with practically no substance or backing for his statements aside from his own internal thought process...It especially pisses me off that he discards the notion of ecologically sustainable practices and the writings of people like Vanadana Shiva and Wendell Berry. Outdated and unimpressive.
