What's the Big Idea? - Food
Illustrated by Sophie Grillet
(Hodder Children's Books)
128pp, NON FICTION, 978-0340724057, RRP £3.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
This title is a readable quick tour around such issues as the history of food and farming, Third World questions, the rise of the multi-nationals, health issues (including a couple of pages on genetic engineering), factory farming, organic farming, fair trade etc, etc. They are dealt with in a conversational style with some jokey (and some not-so-jokey) cartoons thrown in. There is a useful bibliography and address list (including web-sites) at the end.
