<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>CAFO (Concentrated animal feeding operation)--P. [4] of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The CAFO Reader</i> is possibly the most powerful indictment of factory farming ever compiled, with essays from 30 of the world's leading experts. It also offers a vision for a food system that leaves behind the horrific 20th century model of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. <p/><i>The CAFO Reader</i> brings the tragic world of industrial food production into sharp focus with essays on every facet of factory farming: health, environment, animal welfare, labor, politics, economics, and so on. This affordable reader is a companion book to the larger photo-essay volume, <i>CAFO: The Tragedy of Industrial Animal Factories</i>. It is sure to become a relied-upon resource for activists, food policy makers, academics, the media and the general public for many years. This project is a follow-up to the highly successful project <i>Fatal Harvest</i>, published in 2002. It is being supported by an extensive outreach campaign with events around the country.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Essential reading."--"Evening Standard"<br><br>"The [book] is not meant solely to create shock and awe, but instead provides lines of reasoning that have the capacity to stick."--"Edible San Francisco"<br><br>"For those who care about one of the greatest moral failings of our times, the Cafo Reader is indispensable."--"Choice"<br><br>"Gives a full picture of the environmental, social, and ethical implications of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations."--"Grist Magazine: Environmental News & Commentary"<br><br>"Not only are most of the top critics of factory farming gathered together, the excerpts chosen represent some of their most important work.
