New Pesticides Trust [now PAN UK] publication — Growing Food Security

In November 1996 the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) is hosting a World Food Summit to promote food security. Solutions proposed include high input agriculture—in spite of diverse work showing the success of adopting ecologically sustainable approaches. 
    Food security is a governed by many factors, yet the complex economic and political issues are often ignored by governments and decision makers. Based on the experience and research of the PAN and other NGOs, Growing Food Security brings together a series of papers to provide key background material. Among the areas covered are: Corporate strategies; Economic, political and institutional issues; Regional and national experiences; the need for a sustainable alternative;  Planning the future—collective visions.
