Booklist - 07/01/2024 Using appealing and engaging tidbits of information, this book briefly examines the history of food production while focusing on the way new technologies are being introduced in response to climate change and population growth. Readers are asked to consider what early explorers, traders, and fliers like Amelia Earhart ate when fresh food or refrigeration wasn’t possible, how wartime soldiers ate on the move, and how natural disasters impact access to food. Chapters describe ways technological advancements have affected how civilizations grow, raise, hunt, and catch food, and they reveal how the act of sharing food and eating together promotes well-being and a greater sense of cooperation and community. The book also provides examples of how reducing food waste helps increase food sustainability. Vibrant color photos and Lim’s appealing images enhance the text, while sidebars provide facts about technological innovations. The presentation concludes with tips for readers on how to reduce food waste. Useful information for students interested in environmental activism or in STEM topics. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
