The Fate Of Food Insights

By Athena: Learning Reinvented

Release : 2020-11-16

Genre : Earth Sciences, Books, Science & Nature

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
The must-read analysis of the key insights from "The Fate Of Food" by Amanda Little — presented by Athena. Feeding 9 billion people sustainably in the coming decades will require innovation and ingenuity — and drawing on lessons from the past. Amanda Little, an award-winning environmental journalist and professor of science writing at Vanderbilt University, spent three years traveling across the U.S. and a dozen other countries — to examine the threat climate change poses to the world’s food supply. She looked not just at the problem but also novel solutions that might secure a future in which we can sustainably feed humanity while preserving the environment. The result is a book built around first-hand interviews with food scientists, agriculturalists, climate change experts, farmers, activists, engineers and others. We learn that the industrial food system is at once a primary contributor to climate change and the industry most vulnerable to extreme weather events. Which means that a majority of people will suffer the effects of global warming through the food they eat, or don’t eat, and not through wildfires, floods or catastrophic storms. Clearly the challenges are vast and solutions must be nuanced, but Little concludes her investigation with cautious optimism. In the end, she believes human ingenuity, determination and cooperation can be the drivers for a climate-resilient food system capable of feeding a growing population in our increasingly unstable world.
