The food giants, hungry for power, are putting everything at risk. With an unparalleled deception of consumers, the pretense of a clean agricultural idyll, and unapologetic fraudulent labeling, they are ruining our agriculture that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Critical consumers rightfully feel like they are being taken for idiots in face of the numerous food scandals. What is there left for us to eat?

Clemens G. Arvay reveals what’s really happening in (organic) agriculture. On his adventurous journey through Europe, he dares to look behind the scenes and unearths the unvarnished truth about the agricultural industry. But on his travels, he also meets farmers who realize their dream of an authentic agriculture despite all obstacles and shows ways out of the food crisis.
