Description
The future passes through the stomach. Perhaps no bodily need is felt as urgently as hunger and thirst. Concern for a full stomach is therefore at the foundation of every life and the entire human civilization: from what we eat, how we produce, transport, store, and procure food, our health, national economies, and the state of the planet depend. However, current food production and dietary patterns on a global scale benefit no one. Statistics speak of a rising incidence of civilization diseases, states are becoming less self-sufficient, and in the future, billions more hungry mouths will need to be fed by the planet. Food is thus an unassuming focal point of many global problems and should bind political, social, and philosophical attention together. Carolyn Steel interviews farmers, debates with philosophers, visits architects, and reads literary classics, and in her bold book "Sitopia," she gives food the importance it deserves. Not only today but especially in the future.
