outlines the unacceptably high cost of chemical farming on our
health and our environment. She traces the genesis of chemical
farming and the rise of the immense companies that profit from
it, bringing to light the government's role in allowing such
practices to flourish. She further explains that modern organic

harmful carbon emissions and soil depletion, but would also
improve the quality of the food we eat, reduce diseases from
asthma to cancer, and ensure a better quality of life in farming
communities nationwide.
