Eat the Planet Well

21.25

Should we all be vegan? Is organic food worth the extra cost? Which foods have the fewest harmful pesticides, and the lowest environmental impact? What exactly is a healthy diet? Can we fix our broken food system? Our food system has become toxic: toxic to us, and toxic to our planet. Industrial use of pesticides, vast monocrops, ultra-processed foods and unmitigated waste is built into a system that is destroying the environment and our health. But there are solutions, and lots of them. While governments stall, we all need to take responsibility for what we consume. We all have a part to play in fixing our food system. With insight and humour, Dave Goulson cuts through the information overload to examine the tricky questions we all face, and offers an optimistic vision of a better, more stable future.

'A clarion call' Caroline Lucas

How can we eat well without harming the planet?

The way we produce food today is damaging people and nature alike. Modern, intensive farming systems producing pesticide-laced, ultra-processed foods are bad for us and bad for the planet.

But there is cause for hope. From supporting more sustainable farming systems and modifying what we eat to wasting less and growing more ourselves, Dave Goulson shows that change is possible and individual choices do matter – even while governments fail to act.

Packed with surprising insights and practical guidance, Eat the Planet Well cuts through the information overload to help us navigate the tricky decisions we face every day, and offers an optimistic vision for a healthier future.
