“The global industrial food system holds an inherent contradiction. It is a major source of global warming pollution, and at the same time it is threatened by increasing climate chaos. This same food system currently leaves close to a billion people hungry, not for a lack of food production or 'overpopulation' - as many textbooks tell student - but because the global market privileges the profits of multinational corporations over the human rights to food.” ― Bill Bigelow. 2014 A People's Curriculum for the Earth Teaching about the Environmental Crisis
