Designing Regenerative Food Systems
by Marina O’Connell
Hawthorn Press, £25
THIS book is highly relevant to the challenges facing both agriculture and food production.
The author argues that in the 21st century we face “a perfect storm: the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change; catastrophic loss of biodiversity; the rising human population and rising health issues owing to poor diet in the global north and food shortages in the global south.”
Marina O’Connell outlines alternative food production systems which, it is argued, will address these issues.
