Agriculture has now been replaced with permaculture and technology-enhanced agriculture. But how does this affect food production in the future? The author's ambitious, dynamic and thought-provoking foray into the future of food will leave you mesmerized.
This book unveils startling innovations from around the world: farmscrapers (tall 'skyscrapers' of aeroponic planting), cloned cattle and even super-bananas. The author meets the most creative and controversial minds changing the face of modern food production, and tackles fears over genetic modification with hard facts.
In a nutshell, this book is a fascinating look at the threats and opportunities that lie ahead as we struggle to feed ever more people in a changing world.
On a personal level, I loved the chapter on lab cultured meat, meat tissue being divided in petri dishes to become a 'slab of meat'. It's currently happening in Singapore and it's not long before our country does it too.
Wonderfully written, you won't be dissapointed by the raw facts of the current food situation in the world.
