Synopsis
How feeding the world - and food inequality - are impacting our planetWe all need to eat food to stay alive. In many parts of the world, there's plenty of food available and some even gets wasted. But in other places, people can struggle to find the food they need. Three billion people, or 40 percent of the world's population, currently don't have a reliable supply of healthy food.HUNGRY PLANET looks at how feeding the world - and food inequality - are impacting our world. It explores where our food comes from, how farming and fishing affect the environment, why famines and food shortages happen - and what we can all do to protect the planet and make sure everyone has the food they need.Aimed at readers aged 9 and up.Contents: Everyone needs to eat! / Why we need food / Where food comes from / CASE STUDY: Rice / The journey of food / Food and health / Food shortages 16 / CASE STUDY: The Irish Potato Famine / Food and the environment / Food and climate change / CASE STUDY: Shark overfishing / What's the answer? / Food and farm aid / Changing farming / Changing what we eat / CASE STUDY: Lab burgers / GM foods / Reducing waste / What can you do? / The future of food / Glossary / Further information / IndexBooks in the series:Plastic PlanetHot PlanetPandemic PlanetRecycled PlanetSustainable PlanetExtinction PlanetPeaceful Planet?Unequal PlanetWatery PlanetCrowded PlanetNeurodiverse Planet
