Description
Drawing on rigorous research and a wealth of historical and scientific data, this ambitious guide examines how food is produced, distributed, consumed, and wasted around the world. It investigates the contradictions of modern agriculture—from abundant harvests alongside persistent hunger to the environmental costs of meeting changing dietary demands—and challenges popular assumptions about food security and sustainability. With clear, myth-busting analysis, it explores questions surrounding food waste, plant-based diets, nutrition, population growth, and the limits of the planet. The result is a fact-driven yet accessible assessment of how humanity might nourish a growing population while protecting the systems on which life depends.
