"Leading the protest in Millau was a local sheep farmer, Jose Bove, who has emerged as a charismatic and eloquent spokesman for the movement. In this lively and hard-hitting book, Bove, together with the General Secretary of the French Farmers' Confederation, Francois Dufour, recounts the dramatic events of the demonstration and Bove's subsequent imprisonment. They examine the issues behind the campaign, the industrialization of agriculture in a global economy, the massive environmental damages this is wreaking and the tasteless, unhealthly food that results. Bove and Dufour prosposes an alliance of farmers, consumers and ecologists to promote public awareness of these issues. They launched their campaign to enthusiastic support at the WTO protests in Seattle."--BOOK JACKET.
