What can reverse the devastation caused by the agriculture industry and ensure that the world can feed itself in the future? Funded by Greenpeace, Bread for the World and the UK Department for International Development, Essex University researchers undertook the largest ever study of environmentally and socially responsible farming.
The study includes projects on more than four million farms in 52 countries. It explores how the world's poor can feed themselves using cheap, locally-available technologies that will not damage the environment. The findings are dramatic: switching to these farming methods improves harvests for these farmers by an average of 73 per cent.
