This collection takes an interdisciplinary look at how the
transformation towards plant-based diets is becoming more
culturally acceptable, economically accessible, technically
available and politically viable. We offer strategies for achieving
sustainable food systems without having to forgo succulence,
sensuality and sacredness of food. Shifting food systems is one of
humanity's biggest challenges and greatest opportunities. This book
explores adaptable and health-promoting plant-based diets, which by
their nature can support nourishing environmental, social, ethical,
political, and economic outcomes. In this book, detailed
descriptions are provided of what constitutes a healthy plant-based
diet and active lifestyle. Readers are invited to engage with a
community of practitioners delving more deeply into strategies for
transitioning societies to greater succulence and sustainability.
Throughout the first section of the book, environmental challenges
and opportunities for reversing climate change are highlighted as
our most urgent action. The focus then turns to global food systems
and the intersections that are undermining human and animal health.
The final section offers preventative approaches and encourages
reorienting systems of law, economics and education to exemplify
integrity, coordination, coherence and compassion. This book will
be of interest to students and academics, as well as policy
professionals in all fields engaging with complex issues and
systems analyses. It will be of value to those working in health
services, policy development, agriculture, economic development,
and social change as it provides steps to enhance well-being,
pathways to increase jobs in the green economy, and practical ideas
to reverse greenhouse gas emissions. It may also be a superb guide
for individuals and families looking to become vibrant eaters and
leaders.
