Synopsis of Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit

«Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit» is Barry Estabrook's essay published by Andrews & McMeel in hardcover.

Barry Estabrook reveals the human and environmental cost of the fresh tomato industry in the United States, which uses over a hundred herbicides and pesticides, picks the fruit green, and gases it artificially. The work denounces modern slavery in Florida's fields and traces the supermarket tomato from Peru to Immokalee.

The book stems from the article «The Price of Tomatoes», winner of the James Beard Award, and received the 2012 IACP Award in the Food Matters category.

A read for those interested in industrial agriculture, investigative journalism, and the social and environmental consequences of food production.
