Is the future of food looking bleak - or better than ever? At a
time when every day brings news of drought and famine, Amanda
Little investigates what it will take to feed a hotter, hungrier,
more crowded world. She explores the past along with the present
and discovers startling innovations: remote-control crops, vertical
farms, robot weedkillers, lab-grown meat, 3D-printed meals, water
networks run by supercomputers, cloud seeding and sensors that
monitor the microclimate of individual plants. She meets the
creative and controversial minds changing the face of modern food
production, and tackles fears over genetic modification with hard
facts. The Fate of Food is a fascinating look at the threats and
opportunities that lie ahead as we struggle for food security.
Faced with a perilous future, it gives us reason to hope.
