Why read it?
2 authors picked Ravenous as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If only the government had adopted every single one of the recommendations laid down in this book. This book is the chatty, summarised version of the National Food Strategy that Henry Dimbleby put together with great care and attention.
Almost everything here chimes with my own personal findings, but he adds to them and brings everything together with a coherent and practical way forward for health, climate, nature, and the economy.
From Mike's list on humanity can thrive in the decades ahead.
Anyone who eats food should read this book. I found it to be a riveting read.
Ravenous reveals the shockingly dysfunctional state of our global food system. Intensive farming is ravaging the Earth, polluting, damaging the soils, wiping out wildlife, and belching out greenhouse gases, while the food industry turns agricultural products into synthetic ultra-processed foods that make us ill.
There are great suggestions as to how we can all eat better and look after our planet at the same time.
