In the fascinating story of the sustainable food revolution, an environmental journalist and professor asks the question: Is the future of food looking bleak—or better than ever?
AgBookClub’s April selection, The Fate of Food, What We’ll Eat in a Bigger, Hotter, Smarter World by Amanda Little, takes a look at modern agriculture through the lens of an environmentalist. What does a changing climate have in store for agriculture? Will agriculture rise to the challenge of feeding everyone when the world’s population is growing faster than ever before? Can agriculture leverage the technology and tools of today to become a climate-resilient industry?
