I. Book & C. Heden - It Seems Something, Angle 18°

Angle 18° by I. Book & C. Heden It Seems Something Couldn't Be Seen or Told 14,8 x 20 cm 24 pages Offset print Edition of 300, numbered   In this publication Book and Hedén take their starting point in large-scale industrial agriculture and the use of crop-spraying and genetically modified seeds. Intensive spraying spreads so-called superweeds and superinsects over large land areas. These are resistent, extremely hardy and fast-growing species. The agricultural and chemical industries respond by using even more powerful toxins in higher doses. The result of all this is soils that cannot be used, which is in turn a serious threat to the world’s food production. The Worldwatch Institute claims that agricultural areas the size of France already lie fallow in the USA.
