Opis

By 2050, the world's population is estimated to grow to 10 billion. To feed everyone, we will have to double our food production, and produce more food in the next 40 years than in the last 6,000 years combined. Changing the Food Game shows how our present food production system cannot support this growth. In this prescient book, Lucas Simons argues that the biggest challenge for our generation can only be solved by effective market transformation to achieve sustainable agriculture and food production.

Lucas Simons explains clearly how we have created a production and trading system which is inherently unsustainable. But he also demonstrates that we have reason to be hopeful - from a sustainability race in the cocoa industry to examples of market transformation taking place in palm oil, timber and sugarcane production. He also poses the question: where next?

Provocative and eye-opening, Changing the Food Game uncovers the real story of how our food makes it on to our plates and presents a game-changing solution to revolutionize the industry.

Recenzje

Passionate, personal, informed and informal, Changing the Food Game is a bold analysis of why and how current agricultural systems must be transformed if they are to sustainably feed 10 billion people by 2050. Real world examples and presentation in short, manageable chunks, make the analysis both accessible and fascinating. - http://spore.cta.int/en/component/content/article/270-spore/publications-2/12029-market-transformati - Spore Magazine
