I signori del cibo. Viaggio nell'industria alimentare che sta distruggendo il pianeta
by Stefano, Liberti
Stefano Liberti travels across continents to track the journey of four staple commodities—soy, pork, tuna, and coffee—to show how a handful of corporations exert control over what the world eats. This is not a polite guide to healthy eating; it is an autopsy of a globalized food system that prioritizes efficiency and profit over human rights and ecological stability. The prose is clinical and unflinching, stripping away the comfort of the supermarket aisle to reveal the brutal power dynamics at play. You will feel the weight of the supply chain, from the industrial feedlots to the high-seas fishing fleets. This book is for readers who want to understand the political and economic architecture of their dinner and are prepared to have their assumptions about global trade permanently dismantled.
