Our recognition that we are now in the Anthropocene era has highlighted that many activities of humans are not sustainable; therefore, we should recognize and learn from our past mistakes and successes. This involves re-evaluating our past behaviour, considering new pathways to sustainability, educating ourselves, and finding opportunities from crises.
Essays and interviews showcase Hans Herren, Vandana Shiva, Alexander Mueller, and Pavan Suhkdev, among many others. Together, these experts plot a map towards food for all, food for sustainable growth, food for health, and food for culture. With these ingredients, we can nourish our planet and ourselves.
