By 2050, the world's population is estimated to grow to 10 billion.
To feed everyone, we will have to double our food production, to
produce more food in the next 40 years than in the whole of the
last 6,000. Changing the Food Game shows how our unsustainable food
production system cannot support this growth. In this prescient
book, Lucas Simons argues that the biggest challenge for our
generation can only be solved by effective market transformation to
achieve sustainable agriculture and food production. Lucas Simons
explains clearly how we have created a production and trading
system that is inherently unsustainable. But he also demonstrates
that we have reason to be hopeful - from a sustainability race in
the cocoa industry to examples of market transformation taking
place in palm oil, timber, and sugarcane production. He also poses
the question: where next? Provocative and eye-opening, Changing the
Food Game uncovers the real story of how our food makes it on to
our plates and presents a game-changing solution to revolutionize
the industry.
We are at the beginning of the sustainability era. The biggest
challenge of our generation is to reach the Sustainable Development
Goals. For this we must be willing to understand and change the
root causes that create these challenges in the first place. The
system itself needs to change. But how to do that? This
ground-breaking book Changing the Game reveals the missing insights
and strategies to actually achieve system change. The authors Lucas
Simons and André Nijhof bring decades of real life and academic
experience, and state that most of the sustainability challenges
are actually caused by the same system failures, every time.
Therefore, the way to accelerate and manage system change is also
similar every time – if you know where to look and how to act.
The theory of sustainable market transformation and system change
is described in a compelling and easy to understand eight-step
approach applied to eight different sectors. The authors, together
with respected sector experts, describe the drivers, triggers and
dominant thinking in each of these sectors as well as the
strategies needed to move towards higher levels of sustainability.
This book is highly accessible and engaging, and is perfect for use
by professionals, leaders and students for understanding how to
move markets to a more sustainable future.
