Food Watch

What is going to happen to planet Earth and the future food and farming? This challenging new book draws attention to the most pressing concerns – and suggests positive ways to produce enough food while protecting the environment.Food Watch explains the issues – from the problems of world hunger to the effect of chemical pest controls and the debate surrounding genetically modified foods. Hands-on experiments show readers how to explore the science behind the facts, while action globes suggest ways to make a difference on a daily basis. To highlight what is already being done, eyewitness reports from professionals, including an organic dairy farmer in New Zealand and a nutritionist in Ethiopia, describe how their work is improving the management of the planet.
