Food Shock: the truth about what we put on our plate and what we can do to change it
Author(s): Dianne Loughnan
'Food Shock' investigates how the vast majority of food in Australia today is mass-produced in an industrialised system. If you combine this with the as-yet-unknown effects of genetically modified crops, the water crisis, the continued sale of farming land to foreign interests, and the constant struggle of Australian farmers to survive in a "free-market" economy where overseas competitors are subsidised, it soon becomes evident that food production in Australia faces a very uncertain future.
