Some of the books that I strongly recommend for foundation
studies for organic farming are not available in bookshops today. However, after
much searching, I found this great, pro bono, Australian site, run by Steve
Solomon, makes many of the works of Alfred Howard, Eve Balfour, Friend Sykes,
Newman Turner and others available. and www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibrary/010104howard/010104frame.html
Not on the label; What really goes into the food on your plate by
Felicity Lawrence, published by Penguin, £7.99. Irish readers can get a
copy in the discount book and stationery shop, Reeds in Nassau Street,
Dublin and in Patrick's Street, Cork (just up the road from Eason). There
are savings of up to 40% on current books (don't know how a relatively
small, two-shop business does it - I have some experience of the book trade
having been a bookseller and publisher myself for 15 years, battling
against the likes of Eason, who were both wholesaler and a competing
retailer - but sin scéal eile). Good review on www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=1536

FAST FOOD
NATION, Eric Schlosser, Penguin, April '01. Quote from Schlosser
interview ..."And, you know, McDonald's purchasing decisions have an incredible,
incredible effect on commodity markets. This past summer, anticipating protests
against biotech foods, McDonald's basically told its suppliers it would no
longer purchase any genetically engineered potatoes. And as a result, the market
for genetically engineered potatoes in the United States just about
vanished".

organiclife,
first published Summer 2001. I
first saw, and bought, the third issue (Nov/Dec 2001) of this new, glossy UK bi-monthly.
It looked streets ahead of anything we'd seen before - at least this side of the pond.
Photoghraphy was stunning and there were all-prizes-no-blanks in the 82 pages of
Regular and Feature articles. Tiny whinges though: text editing could be better, spell-checking
needed to be more
rigorous and why, like everybody else in organic publishing, do they have to be
bi-monthly? Why not monthly? www.organiclifemag.com.

But is there life at Organic Life? Cannot call up their website or get
replies to emails or telephone calls, October 2003.
Book Catalogues
Most of the major sources have been covered here. I will be glad however to
hear of other titles, publishers and distributors. Shortly, I will review and
recommend more titles for particular categories e.g. books for the beginner, the
gardener, the transitional farmer, cookery, politics etc. Reviews welcome.
Walnut Books, Co.Cork, " a world of green reading
at your fingertips", is how Rob Hopkins - otherwise famous for his
straw-bale houses and courses - describes his mail-order book business
established over six years ago. Bob and helpers and stall are oft-times
present - and, as I've observed, well-supported - at altenative conferences
and events. For a full free catalogue, with hundreds of books and videos on
all aspects of practical sustainability, get in touch with Rob at, The
Hollies, Castletown, Enniskeane, Co. Cork, Ireland. Tel; 023 47002. www.walnutbooks.com
Take steps to remedy that desire for the "book you read the
review on" by visiting Ireland's answer to Amazon (but with a voice
at the end of the phone!). Muriel Lumb's crackingly good website, www.booksteps.ie
is your gateway to buying books that provide "practical
solutions to day to day problems, be they environmental, physical,
psychological, spiritual or educational." I am flattered that Muriel
once thought my site was impressive - we did a Dreamweaver web-building
course together - but whereas I can but dream on about a site redesign,
Muriel has put her acquired web skills to excellent use. Remember the
wonderful, door-step (it weighs about 3 kilos) book, Fatal Harvest,
I have raved about (see Publications page, top right)? Yes it can be on
your step within a matter of days (An Post willing, of course) from
Book Steps - at-cost postage only, as you'd expect from an ethical
bookseller. I could actually collect a copy by boat, as Muriel's place is
just across Bantry Bay to the south east.
One of the most comprehensive catalogues of books and pamphlets on organic
issues is that of the Soil Association in Britain. Twelve categories and
hundreds of books, with balanced descriptions, make this the essential mail
order book-shop.
www.soilassociation.org.
Green Books is part of the the Schumacher Circle which
embraces Resurgence Magazine, the Soil Association etc. You can view new and
recent publications online at www.greenbooks.co.uk

Acres USA, www.acresusa.com the
family-owned, eco-agriculture monthly, that has been around for more than 30
years has a 74 page, book catalogue that must be the largest list of books on
organics in the world. Many of the books are new to us - shame that surface
deliveries take so long from the States. Email; news@acresusa.com.
Another good list is that from Henry Doubleday Research Association (HYDRA);
www.hydra.co.uk.
Their emphasis is mainly on organic gardening.
Land Heritage Trust (UK) publishes Organic Farming Titles
- Olde and New, £2.00 incl. postage. This is a compilation of over 200 titles,
ranging from the earliest pioneers to the latest authors. Also publishes an
elegant Manifesto, which is a good introduction to the history of organic
farming and the present state of agriculture. www.landheritage.org.

Albert Howard and Christopher Shirley’s,
What
Really Happens When You Cut Chemicals?
www.just-food.com Although
Just-Food.com mainly analyses the general food industry, it has a good current news
section with occasional organic information. It is educational to hear what it
is saying to the conventional industry about organics; " dazzling

Reviews

Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain by George
Monbiot, MacMillan, London, 2000. Review by Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, founder of the
influential Institute of Science in Society. See: www.i-sis.org.uk
The corporate take over is
here and threatening the foundations of democratic government. That is the
message of George Monbiot’s explosive and important book. Corporations have
seized control of our hospitals, schools and universities. They have infiltrated
the government and come to dominate government ministries, buying and selling
planning permission, dispensing our tax money to research and development that
benefit industry, taking over the food chain. To top it all, the British
Government has colluded in ceding its power to international institutions
controlled by corporations, such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank
and the International Monetary Fund. Anyone who is under the delusion that
corrupt or corrupted governments are only in the Third World had better think
again.
The chapter on corporate
takeover of universities is too close to home. I have been on the permanent
academic staff of the Open University since 1976, but was strongly encouraged to
take early retirement last June as I became more and more involved in the
genetic engineering debate.
In the course of the genetic
engineering debate, I had begun to realise that the corporate take over of
science was the greatest threat to democracy and to the survival of our planet
[1]. That was why I co-founded the not-for-profit Institute of Science in
Society (ISIS) to work for social responsibility and sustainable approaches in
science and the integration of science in society. As part of the agreement for
my retirement, I was to be given an honorary secondment, so I could continue
running ISIS from the University, while making it clear it was independent from
the University. The situation soon began to rapidly deteriorate, however.
In August, less than two
months after my retirement, my research assistant and I were both officially
banned from the University campus. Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) alleged in a
letter and phone-call to my head of Department that I was in possession of
certain internal papers belonging to them. Huntingdon Life Sciences is a
privately-owned laboratory, at the time doing contract research for the biotech
companies, among them Imutran, a subsidiary of the corporate-giant Novartis.
The University made no attempt
to communicate with me or with my assistant before imposing the ban. Had they
done so, they would have found that HLS’ accusation was false. I was sent some
papers by a group campaigning for animal welfare, who were helping me obtain
published scientific papers on cross-species organ transplant – the
experiments being carried out in HLS for Imutran - so that ISIS could prepare a
scientific critique, which we did [2]. The internal papers were never used and
have been destroyed since, as I judged that there was enough in the scientific
literature to damn the whole project on safety and moral grounds.
But the chief of HLS, Brian
Cass, tried to intimidate me, in phone calls, and in an e-mail, to get me to
reveal the identity of the campaigning group. I refused to do so.
When I went on campus to
prepare my reply to the ban, the Sub-Dean of Science came into my office and
threatened to have me removed physically with the security guard.
After days on the telephone to
my Union representative, the Dean of Science agreed to see me. Months later, the
ban was lifted for myself, but my for my assistant; the University denied that
she had, in fact, been given an honorary research fellowship a year earlier. I
was further barred from using University facilities for ISIS.
The animal welfare group,
Uncaged Campaigns, has gone public since with a 150 page report leaked to the
press, documenting excessive suffering of animals at HLS, and Imutran’s
exaggeration of the success of the pig to primate organ transplant research.
Imutran has brought an injunction against Uncaged Campaigns to prevent the
release of the report. But just four days after the news broke, Novartis
announced the closure of Imutran, and the removal of the research to the United
States. Nevertheless, Novartis has pursued the case against Uncaged Campaigns to
full trial and won. Since then there has been a plethora of prominent articles
in the mainstream press condemning animal rights activists and defending
Huntingdon Life Sciences.
George Monbiot gives many more
examples of similar treatments university administrations mete out to academics
daring to dissent from the corporate agenda or to criticise it. The Centre for
Human Ecology, founded by distinguished evolutionist and geneti-cist C.H.
Waddington more than 30 years ago, was hounded out of Edinburgh University in
1996, essentially for raising questions in both the scientific and popular press
about the Conservative Government’s science policies. Academic and government
scientists are all too often asked to falsify data in order not to offend
corporate funders.
"Today, there is scarcely
a science faculty in the United Kingdom whose academic freedom has not been
compromised by its funding arrangements. Contact between government-funded
researchers and industry, having once been discouraged, is now, in many
departments, effectively compulsory ….our universities have been offered for
sale, with the result that objectivity and intellectual honesty are becoming
surplus to requirements."
The sell-out began under the
Conservative Government, and with science research funding which effectively
controls what kinds of science would be done. The 1993 white paper on science
called Realizing our Potential, intended to "produce a better match
between publicly funded strategic research and the needs of industry". The
research councils, which distribute most of the public money for science would
be obliged to develop "more extensive and deeper links" with industry.
They would be required "to recruit more of their senior staff from
industry".
The Labour government extended
those reforms enthus-iastically. Its 1998 white paper on competitiveness
launched a ‘reach-out’ fund to encourage universities to "work more
effectively with business". The role of the higher education funding
councils, which provide the core money for universities, was redefined " to
ensure that higher education is responsive to the needs of business and
industry".
Thus, it comes as no surprise
that the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research council (BBSRC), the
main funding body for Britain’s academic biologists with an annual budget of
£190m, is chaired by Peter Doyle, an executive director of the biotech
corporation, Zeneca. Among the members of its council are the Chief Executive of
the pharmaceutical firm Chiroscience, the former Director of Research and
Development of the food company Nestle; the President of the Food and Drink
Federation; the general manager of Britain’s biggest farming business and a
consultant to the biochemical industry. The BBSRC’s strategy board contains
executives from SmithKline Beecham, Merck Sharpe and Dohme and Agrevo UK (now
subsidiary of Aventis, the company responsible for getting the Department of
Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) to support the controversial ‘farmscale’
field trials with £3 million of taxpayer’s money). The Council has seven
specialist committees, each overseeing the funding of different branches of
biology. Employees of Zeneca sit on all of them.
The BBSRC was established in
1994 to replace the biological program previously run by the Science and
Engineering Research Council (SERC). Whereas SERC’s mandate was to advance
science of all kinds. The BBSRC’s purpose is "to sustain a broad base of
interdisciplinary research and training to help industry, commerce and
Government create wealth".
The BBSRC’s press release
falls into three categories: news about the research grants it allocates, news
about the findings resulting from those grants, and fierce attacks on critics of
genetic engineering. Arpad Pusztai’s publication in The Lancet was
condemned as "irresponsible". When Friends of the Earth released the
results of research showing that GM oilseed rape pollen was being carried four
and a half kilometres (well beyond the legal ‘isolation distances’), the
BBSRC issued a statement that the finding was "a distraction from the key
issues".
Gene biotechnology research is
swallowing up the lion’s share of the research funds. In January 1999, the
BBSRC set aside £15m for "a new initiative to help British researchers win
the race to identify the function of key genes". In July the same year,
£19m was to be spent on new research facilities to "underpin the economic
and environmental sustainability of agriculture in the UK" through
"work on genetically modified crops". In October, £11m were allocated
to projects that would enable the UK "to remain internationally competitive
in the deveopment of gene-based technologies". Every year, the Council
gives more than £10m in grants to John Innes Centre in Norwich, the genetic
engineering institute which houses the Sainsbury Laboratory and has a research
alliance with Zeneca and Dupont.
The BBSRC also funds the
secondment of academics into corporations to "influence basic research
relevant to company objectives". The Council launched a Biotechnology Young
Entrepreneurs Scheme, "aimed at encouraging a more entrepreneurial attitude
in bioscientists". It has paid for researcher to work for Nestle, Unilever,
Glaxo Wellcome, Smith-Kline Beecham, AgrEvo, Dupont, Rhone Poulenc and Zeneca.
Most telling of all,
scientists working in university departments receiving BBSRC grants are formally
gagged to prevent them becoming "involved in political controversy in
matters affecting research in biotechnology and biological sciences". In
practice, however, scientists can hype biotechnology to their heart’s content.
The gagging is strictly aimed at critics.
The same pattern of corporate
takeover is repeated in the other research councils, the Natural Environment
Research Council (NERC) and the Medical Research Council (MRC).
I recently visited the MRC
website and found that an extra £1.9 billion is to be committed to "health
genomics research" over the next five years [3]. That is in addition to the
Government’s projected spending of £675m on university infrastructure through
the Science Research Investment Fund, which includes high tech facilities for
studying genes and proteins.
A number of the MRC proposals
are controversial to say the least (see "Human Studies on GM Food
Risks", and "UK population DNA database to be established", this
issue).
George has confirmed what many
people already suspect and have experienced in their personal struggles for
freedom and democracy in different spheres of life. What can we do in the face
of the ever-increasing consolidation of corporate control? Monbiot has only one
answer: don’t despair, fight on!
"The struggle between
people and corporations will be the defining battle of the twenty-first century.
If the corporations win, liberal democracy will come to an end. The great social
democratic institutions which have defended the weak against the strong –
equality before the law, re-presentative government, democratic accountability
and the sovereignty of parliament - will be toppled. If, on the other hand, the
corporate attempt on public life is beaten back, then democracy may re-emerge
the stronger for its conquest. But this victory cannot be brokered by our
representatives. Democracy will survive only if the people in whose name they
govern rescue the state from its captivity."
This book is meticulously
researched and scholarly, but despite the seriousness of the subject matter, it
is refreshingly well written. The style of the prose is pleasantly evocative,
light and engaging, even when his message is at its most uncom-promisingly
radica
