Ecofood: How to Farm, Buy and Eat Sustainably

Description

Eating is a necessity and a pleasure, but it has also become an ecological act. Monocultures, genetically manipulated crops, chemical treatments, polluting packaging, exploitation of people and resources are just some of the trends now dominating the market, with significant consequences on both man and environment. But there is an alternative. This book focuses on the small, personal choices in our everyday lives that can transform the act of consumption into an opportunity for innovation. It includes valuable information on ecological farming, distribution and consumption, and contains interviews with the leading players in the field, like Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini and activist/journalist Michael Pollan.
