A Global Corporate Trust for Agroecological Integrity

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"John Head challenges us to think differently about the kind of political structure the world needs in order to meet global agricultural and climate crises. He questions state sovereignty. He proposes "eco-states" that would carry responsibility for agricultural and ecological sanity. And he designs a new international institution to facilitate the fundamental transformations we need. This is a timely, well-written, and important book." - Tim Crews, Director of Research and an Ecologist at The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, USA

"John Head offers a radically sensible proposal for responding to the global agricultural crisis. A Global Corporate Trust for Agroecological Integrity is appropriately ambitious, daring to challenge the status quo not just with critique but with exciting ideas about reshaping international law and global governance. Head's proposal for "eco-states" is one of the most important innovations I've seen in the quest to create a truly sustainable world system." - Robert Jensen, Emeritus Professor, University of Texas at Austin, USA

"John Head is a systems thinker par excellence.

And not a moment too soon. Highly recommended." - Bill Vitek, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Clarkson University, USA
