Description
The Ninth Revolution: Transforming Food Systems for Good
A radical transformation of our agrifood system is needed to address the challenges facing human health and the planet. Professor Sayed Azam-Ali proposes a new approach that considers food systems as part of global biodiversity, with cultural, nutritional, and social values beyond market price.
He argues that relying on just four staple crops for most of our food poses significant risks and that a more diverse and sustainable system is required. This book outlines a vision for the agrifood system as a global public good, encompassing new technologies, traditional practices, and diverse landscapes and urban spaces.
