As Northampton city officials deliberate the purchase of the Bean and Allard Farms respectively, and how the land might be utilized, Paul Roberts spoke in June 2008 on his book, The End of Food.
From Word for Word:
The skyrocketing costs of food and fuel are forcing Americans to make tough choices, and around the world, developing countries are facing starvation. Best selling author Paul Roberts argues in his new book "The End of Food," that our global food economy is careening toward disaster. In a June 18th speech at the Commonwealth Club of California, Roberts discussed his book and how problems like food scarcity, food borne illness, obesity and malnutrition are all rooted in the industrial mass-production of food.
