Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st. Whether smashed on toast or hailed as a superfood, the avocado has taken the world by storm, but what are the environmental and social impacts of this trendy fruit?This book does not seek to demonise the avocado and its many enthusiasts. Instead, it will illuminate consumers on the often unseen impacts of foods. A staple of cafes, restaurants, homes, and social media channels, demand for the avocado has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. From an everyday crop in South and Central America to a global phenomenon, this drastic change in demand has many consequences for people and the planet. As demand grows, so does the need for more land, with land clearances threatening habitats and biodiversity. As production grows, so does global distribution and the impacts that air and sea travel have on the environment. The shift from a local to a global product disturbs the local food system, raising serious questions around food sovereignty and food justice and the importance of establishing an agricultural system that is both environmentally and socially just. While focusing here on the avocado, this book allows readers to gain a better understanding of the food system as a whole. In doing so, it empowers us all to think carefully and critically about the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices more broadly. We shouldn't feel guilty about eating avocados, we should simply understand the impact of doing so.This book is essential reading for all who are interested in learning more about the food system, sustainable diets, and the relationship between farming and the environment.

Hardback. Condizione: New. How do we ensure that there is enough healthy and sustainable food to feed everyone in the world in the 21st century and beyond? The future of food is in peril. Food production around the globe is both a contributor to and a victim of climate change, while population growth and shifting consumption patterns threaten to outpace supply. The Future of Food examines the current issues facing our food supply and considers the potential solutions to those challenges. Chapters in Part 1 explore the plethora of challenges facing the global food system and highlight the interconnectedness of these issues. Part 2 addresses the future of protein, one of the most important and hotly debated topics in food and environmental sciences. Readers will discover the many possible futures, from protein powders made from insects to burgers grown in a lab. Finally, Part 3 examines a variety of other low- and high-tech solutions, from vertical farming and regenerative agricultural practices to spoil-proof packaging, genetic modification, and the use of AI. The book presents a balanced and nuanced exploration of each possible solution, examining the strengths, drawbacks, and viability of each. Sidebars supplement the main text, offering illuminating real-world case studies that bring the text to life.
