Diet For A Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis At The End Of Your Fork And What You Can Do About It (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Useful things to consider and practices for us to know. However, makes the same old conflation between organic and safe, which doesn't attend to the issues of many organically approved pesticides. The big challenge remains before us: how to transition our food system ending widespread hunger from distribution and ensuring no widespread hunger from crop failures due to climactic change and global transportation of fungi, yeasts, rusts, diseases, and insects. Big points for knowing one's farmers, for making thoughtful local food choices, and for attending to the relationship between food production and climate change. This book was incredibly well-informed and had a strong voice. However, there was almost TOO much information and not enough narrative to keep my attention. It receives a 5 for content, but a 3 for readability. I wholeheartedly support the message in this book however, and I really think for those who want to know more about the connection between our food sources and the environment it is a must-read.
