Agri-Culture envisages the expansion of a new form of food production and consumption founded
on more ecological principles and in harmony with the cultures, knowledges and collective capacities
of the producers themselves. It draws on many stories of successful agricultural transformation in
developing and industrialized countries, but with a warning that true prosperity will depend on the
radical reform of the institutions and policies that control global food futures, and fundamental changes
in the way we think. The time has come for the next agricultural revolution.
