Salmonella-tainted tomatoes, riots, and skyrocketing prices are
only the latest in a series of food-related crises that have
illuminated the failures of the modern food system. In "The End of
Food, "Paul Roberts investigates this system and presents a
startling truth--how we make, market, and transport our food is no
longer compatible with the billions of consumers the system was
built to serve.
The emergence of large-scale and efficient food production
forever changed our relationship with food and ultimately left a
vulnerable and paradoxical system in place. High-volume factory
systems create new risks for food-borne illness; high-yield crops
generate grain, produce, and meat of declining nutritional quality;
and while nearly a billion people are overweight, roughly as many
people are starving.
In this vivid narrative, Roberts presents clear, stark visions
of the future and helps us prepare to make the necessary decisions
to survive the demise of food production as we know it.
