Praise for Eating Tomorrow
"A powerful polemic against agricultural technology."
--Nature "Read Eating Tomorrow. . . . This book promises to outrage and inform you to say no to agribusiness. It's well-written, inspiring, and incisive."
--Counterpunch

"Wise does see hope in the small-plot farmers of the world who are rising in protest. His report will interest readers concerned about human rights and the environment."
--Booklist

"A grave and timely look at the future of feeding the planet."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Eating Tomorrow is a wake-up call about the future of food."
--Vandana Shiva, author of Who Really Feeds the World? and Soil Not Oil

--Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet

--Million Belay, coordinator, Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa

"Wise's writing is riveting."
--Ricardo J. Salvador, director and senior scientist, Food & Environment Program, Union of Concerned Scientists

--Salil Shetty, former secretary general, Amnesty International, and currently senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy

"Tim Wise's Eating Tomorrow reveals the stunning disconnect between what is needed to address future food shocks and the scheme by multinational corporations to squeeze every penny from the poorest people in the world."
--Wenonah Hauter, author of Foodopoly: The Battle Over the Future of Food and Farming in America and executive director of Food & Water Watch

"There is a battle for the future of food, and Eating Tomorrow shifts the frontlines."
