Description
Eating to Extinction is an astonishing journey through the past, present and future of food, revealing why reclaiming a diverse food culture is vital for our planet's future.
From a tiny crimson pear in the west of England to an exploding corn in Mexico, Dan Saladino explores the stories of thousands of foods that are at risk of being lost forever. He meets the pioneering farmers, scientists, cooks, food producers and indigenous communities who are defending food traditions and fighting for change.
This book is about more than preserving the past; it's about the crisis facing our planet today and why reclaiming a diverse food culture is essential for our future. With a new preface by the author, Eating to Extinction is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the importance of food diversity.
