The End Of Food: Paul Roberts

The coming crisis in the world food industry. Large scale food production has given us super abundance - but at a very costly and unsustainable price. More than a billion people are overweight or obese, yet just as many are malnourished. Over-populated countries are already planning for tightened global food supplies. Roberts explores the vulnerable miracle of our modern food economy and pinpoints the decisions that must be made to avoid the coming meltdown. Fist published in 2008, this book is more valid than ever.
