The world is more interested in issues surrounding agricultural and food issues than ever before. Are pesticides safe? Should we choose locally grown food? Why do some people embrace new agricultural technologies while others steadfastly defend traditional farming methods? In the debates about organic food, genetically modified organisms, and farm animal welfare, it's not always clear what the scientific studies are actually telling us.
To understand these controversies and more, the authors of Agricultural and Food Controversies: What Everyone Needs to Know begin by encouraging readers to develop an understanding of how two well-educated people can form radically different opinions about food. Sometimes the disputes are scientific in nature, and sometimes they arise from conflicting ethical views. This book confronts the most controversial issues in agriculture by first explaining the principles of each side of the debate, guiding readers through the scientific literature so that they can form their own educated opinions.
Questions asked:
- Are organic foods truly better for your health?
- Are chemical fertilizers sustainable, or are we producing cheap food at the expense of future generations?
- What foods should we eat to have a smaller carbon footprint?
- Does buying local food stimulate the local economy?
- Why are so many farm animals raised indoors?
- Should antibiotics be given to livestock?
- Is genetically-modified food the key to global food security, and does it give corporations too much market power?
- Is the prevalence of corn throughout the food system the result of farm subsidies?
Providing a combination of research and popular opinions on both sides of the issue, Agricultural and Food Controversies: What Everyone Needs to Know allows readers to decide for themselves what they personally value and believe to be important when it comes to their food.

Still the very best
this product is so good that it is enough to take the 'wrinkles' out of any alligator. During my times spent in Africa(23 years) this product helped sustain and maintain the texture and the quality of my skin. I will deeply recommend this product ANY DAY, ANY TIME, AND ANYWHERE.

Great Lotion, ridiculous price. Get it cheaper somewhere else.
The lotion is amazing! Been using it since I was a little girl back in Ivory Coast, the country it originates from!!! The only thing I have an issue with somehow is the price. $13 is just too damn expensive when you can get it cheaper at house of beauty world. (Website) But then again, mine comes directly from Ivory Coast when I have family that happens to be traveling back home.

Potential Buyers Be Fore-warned
Some how, my 1st review with photos & details of why I WAS rating 3 stars did not get posted. Cannot include those images that showed the condition that I found this product after I opened the shipping material. I found the exterior of the container covered with the cream & more cream was oozed out all around the bottom edge of the lid. I had to take a paper towel & wipe the excess cream product from the exterior of the container, in order to open the jar. When I did, there was more cream smeared all over the foil that was supposed to be sealed, & the grab tab to remove the foil was crimpled up off the rim of the jar with more cream oozed out all over the jar threads (for turning the lid to close the jar shut). I don't know when all of that happened to this item, & I wondered about the integrity & safety of the cream product having received it opened & appearing to have been very much compromised. The only reason that I took the time required to clean this product off was that at least it looked, felt, & smelled like the cream product that I have used before.
