We live in a world shaped by food, a Sitopia (sitos - food; topos -
place). Food, and how we search for and consume it, has defined our
human journey. From our foraging hunter-gatherer ancestors to the
enormous appetites of modern cities, food has shaped our bodies and
homes, our politics and trade, and our climate. Whether it's the
daily decision of what to eat, or the monopoly of industrial food
production, food touches every part of our world. But by forgetting
its value, we have drifted into a way of life that threatens our
planet and ourselves. Yet food remains central to addressing the
predicaments and opportunities of our urban, digital age. Drawing
on insights from philosophy, history, architecture, literature,
politics and science, as well as stories of the farmers, designers
and economists who are remaking our relationship with food, Sitopia
is a provocative and exhilarating vision for change, and how to
thrive on our crowded, overheating planet. In her inspiring and
deeply thoughtful new book Carolyn Steel, points the way to a
better future.
