Book Synopsis Meet the Food Radicals by : F. Bailey Norwood
Download or read book Meet the Food Radicals written by F. Bailey Norwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food system has changed considerably in the last century. Horsepower was replaced by machine, better crop breeding programs helped usher in the Green Revolution, and problems of malnutrition began to run parallel with those of obesity. Despite changes, many of the problems we face remain the same. Farms continue to lose soil, and low income households still have difficulty acquiring healthy food. Add to these challenges a host of new ones. Globalization has caused some agricultural communities to feel threatened. Everyone recognizes problems of malnutrition, obesity and food sustainability, but many disagree on solutions. One thing is certain: confronting both familiar and new challenges will lead to radical changes in the food system. Though the exact form of radical change is unknown, this book looks to a host of candidates by interviewing the people who champion them. We are winning the battle against soil erosion through new no-till farming methods. Progress is being made in food sustainability by a spectrum of new innovations, but also a return to traditional farming techniques. New innovations include robots on the farm, advances in molecular biology, and alternative protein sources. As we embrace the farming strategies of our ancestors, we see farms returning to polycultures, local food systems, and food sovereignty. This book gains insight from interviews with twenty-seven individuals who are either creating or proposing radical changes in how food is produced and distributed. An eclectic group ranging from farmers to activists to spiritual gurus, they are the most interesting people you have never met. By getting to know each "radical" personally we can better access their voices and visions to understand both the problems and likely solutions to today's most pressing food problems.

Including presentations from the 2014 International Conference on Halophytes for Food Security in Dry Lands, this book features insights from the leading researchers in the subject. It is a valuable resource that includes information on the nutritional value of halophytes, their genetic basis and potential enhancement, adaption of halophytes, and lessons learned thus far.

Book excerpt: Our health and the health of the planet are intertwined: one cannot thrive without the other. But many of our modern ways of growing and processing food diminish the nutritional value of the food we eat and the integrity of the planet on which we live. Through simple and colourful recipes, expert nutritional insights and environmental observations Daphne Lambert describes how, by linking our eating to seasonal rhythms, we can help ensure a harmonious relationship between ourselves and the planet. Each section, one for each of the four seasons, reveals Mother Nature’s knack for providing us with the food we need when we need it most and how we can benefit from her seasonal offerings. Living Food is not just a cookbook; it is a holistic nutritional guide and a food wisdom yearbook that will make you think more deeply about the food we eat.
