The book explores the critical evolution of global farming, tracing its roots from the Agricultural Revolution to the detrimental practices of the green revolution. It highlights the environmental consequences of modern agriculture, where chemical-centric methods have led to the degradation of fertile land. Citing alarming statistics from the 1992-93 World Resources Report, it discusses the loss of nearly 10 million hectares of prime farmland and the extensive damage to over 1.2 billion hectares, warning of potential food shortages in the coming decades due to declining soil health.
