إطعام المستقبل | استعادة الكوكب وشفاء أنفسنا

Radically reshaping the current global food system to address injustices and existential threats. The global food system stands at a critical crossroads. Food production is one of the largest causes of global environmental change and accelerating climate change. The resulting loss of biodiversity, and the adverse impacts on water and land use, have put human life at risk. To date, proposed solutions have downplayed the risks and ignored the complex social and environmental justice dimensions of these challenges. Feeding the Future(https://press.georgetown.edu/Book/Feeding-the-Future) offers a radical reframing of how humanity addresses the harmful effects and injustices of today's global food system. Rather than pursuing an impossible transformation of the entire system, Nicole Neguete reveals how communities around the world are transcending this system through innovative place-based solutions. Through poignant storytelling and careful analysis, Niguette challenges conventional approaches to solving food system problems embraced by big agricultural corporations, the food industry, policymakers, and many NGOs. The author shares inspiring stories of pioneering figures and communities around the world who are applying innovative and unique strategies to revitalize depleted farmland, revitalize urban neighborhoods, establish new economic models, and build thriving regional food systems. For policymakers, activists, researchers, and all who care about the connections between food systems, human health, and the fate of the planet, _Feeding the Future offers practical paths forward. By showing how local communities are already creating successful alternatives to industrial agriculture, Niguette offers a compelling blueprint for transforming the current global food system.
