Diet for a Hot Planet

Anna Lappé, daughter of Diet for a Small Planet author Frances Moore Lappe, argues that the global food system is a major driver of climate change, responsible for as much as a third of greenhouse gas emissions. How food is farmed, what people eat and how food reaches the table all play a part, she writes, while government and the food industry ignore the problem. She predicts that food-related emissions will keep rising without a radical shift in diet and production, and exposes the interests and corporate spin standing in the way of reform. She also visits farmers practicing sustainable methods and offers six principles for a climate-friendly diet.
