Sinossi
In the sun-baked fields of the American South, a bitter harvest is reaped. For generations, migrant workers have toiled in the sugarcane fields, their lives and labor exploited by the powerful sugar industry. In this eye-opening book, we uncover the hidden costs of sugar production, from the environmental degradation caused by unsustainable farming practices to the human toll exacted on the workers who toil in the fields. We hear the stories of migrant workers who have been subjected to harsh and dangerous working conditions, denied fair wages, and deprived of basic human rights. But this book is also a story of hope and resilience. It tells of the growing movement of activists, consumers, and industry leaders who are working to create a more just and sustainable sugar industry. We learn about the Fair Trade movement, which is working to ensure that sugar workers are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. We also meet the farmers who are pioneering new, sustainable methods of sugar production that protect the environment and benefit local communities. This book is a call to action for all of us who consume sugar. It is time to demand transparency in the sugar supply chain, to support Fair Trade sugar, and to hold the sugar industry accountable for its actions. Together, we can create a sugar industry that is fair, sustainable, and beneficial to all.
