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.
Honor May Eldridge is a policy and advisory expert in food and environment impact, with over a decade of experience advocating for resilient, equitable food systems in both the UK and the US.
