In seinem "Ernährungsreport" bejubelt das Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft seine Errungenschaften sowie das Vertrauen der Bürger*innen in unsere Lebensmittel – doch die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus. Wenn es um unser Essen geht, werden wir nach wie vor schamlos belogen und betrogen, eine hohe Qualität der Produkte wird vorgegaukelt – von der Agrarlobby und der Lebensmittelindustrie, aber auch die Politik spielt auf verantwortungslose Weise mit.

You can build a farm anywhere.

Gene Logsdon's The Man Who Created Paradise is a message of hope at a time when the very concept of earth stewardship is under attack. The fable, inspired by a true story, tells how Wally Spero looked at one of the bleakest places in America -- a raw and barren strip-mined landscape -- and saw in it his escape from the drudgery of his factory job. He bought an old bulldozer and used the machine to carve patiently, acre by acre, a beautiful little farm out of a seemingly worthless wasteland.

Ecologist Mark Easter offers a detailed picture of the impact the foods you love have on the earth. Organized by the ingredients of a typical dinner party, including seafood, salad, bread, chicken, steak, potatoes, and fruit pie with ice cream, each chapter examines the food through the lens of the climate crisis. Gathered like guests around the table, here are the stories of these foods: the soil that grew the lettuce, the farmers and ranchers and orchardists who steward the land, the dairy and farm workers and grocers who labor to bring it to the table.

Framed by the author’s personal experience with backyard hens, Chickens: Their Natural and Unnatural Histories explores the history of the chicken from its descent from the dinosaurs to the space-age present. En route, Lembke surveys chickens in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 19th century, and modern times, including the role of chickens in Jewish and Muslim practices. She also investigates the birds’ contributions to science and their jaunty appearances in literature.

As industry and technology proliferate in modern society, sustainability has jumped to the forefront of contemporary political and environmental discussions.

Are you sick of people coming up to you and oversharing their unwanted opinions about weight and diets? Maybe, you have even started avoiding social gatherings as a result? And, don't get me started on the occasional sad, binge eating, especially late at night in front of the TV, or when you are feeling bad, lonely, or bored. Listen up! It does not have to be this way. Food addiction has been on the rise for decades, and weight-related deaths, illnesses, mental and social dysfunctions, and the base cost to the nation is climbing exponentially.

Por primera vez desde el Neolítico tenemos la oportunidad de transformar no solo nuestro sistema alimentario, sino toda nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La agricultura y la ganadería son la principal causa de destrucción del medio ambiente en el mundo, pero apenas se habla de ello. Criticamos la expansión urbana, pero el sector 1 / 8 primario ocupa una superficie treinta veces mayor. Hemos arado, vallado y destinado al pastoreo grandes extensiones del planeta, talando bosques, extinguiendo la fauna autóctona y envenenando ríos y océanos para alimentarnos.

Taking its title from a chilling warning made by the United Nations that the world’s soils could be lost within a lifetime, Sixty Harvests Left uncovers how the food industry is threatening the planet. Put simply, without soils there will be no food: game over. And time is running out.
