- India's Agriculture Minister Shree Radha Mohan Singh releases this book ôWealth per Acreö on true costs of industrial and ecological farming, by Dr. Vandana Shiva and Dr. Vaibhav Singh.The book is published by Natraj Publishers.
- The book is both a grand synthesis of the work done previously by Navdanya and an extensive analysis that is original to the book.
- The book gives a deep insight on the way agriculture is done in India and on the food system prevailing.
- Any economic activity involves costs that are internal to the system, costs that are borne by the producer or by the consumer.
- Many economic activities have costs that are external to the system, costs that are borne neither by the producer nor by the consumer. Such costs are called externalities associated with an economic activity- costs of externalities are borne by the society.
- India, like China, is a frontier economy in which the majority of costs of production are externalized as a result of poor environmental standards and corrupt governance.
- The externalities associated with agriculture and food system have been so pressing that it became imperative to write this book.
- The book finally concludes with suggestions to the government along with the description of Navdanya model of agriculture and food system that is inspired by the science of Agroecology.

VANDANA SHIVA
Starting in the 16th century with the initial enclosure of the British commons, Shiva reveals how the commons continue to shrink as more natural resources are patented and privatised. As our ecological sustainability and cultural diversity erode, so too is human life rendered disposable. Through the forces of neoliberal globalisation, economic and social exclusion ignite violence across lines of difference, threatening the lives of millions. Yet these brutal extinctions are not the only trend shaping human history. Struggles on the streets of Seattle and Cancun and in homes and farms across the world have yielded a set of principles based on inclusion, non-violence, reclaiming the commons, and freely sharing the earth's resources. These ideals, which Shiva calls Earth Democracy, serve as an urgent call to peace and as the basis for a just and sustainable future.

Hot, Hungry Planet focuses on three key concepts that support food security and resilience in a changing world: social, educational and agricultural advances; land use and technical actions by farmers and policy nudges that have the greatest potential for reducing adverse environmental impacts of agriculture while providing more food. Through stories of individuals in six key regions - India, sub-Saharan Africa, the United States, Latin America, the Middle East and Indonesia, she paints a picture of both the world we want to live in and the great leaps it will take to get there.
