Krátky popis
The food stories behind your favourite fruits and vegetables. Have
you ever wondered who picked your Fairtrade banana? Or why we can
buy British strawberries in April? How far do you think your green
beans travelled to get to your plate? And where do all the wonky
carrots go? Above all, how do we stop worrying about our food
choices and start making decisions that make a difference?In an
effort to make sense of the complex food system we are all part of,
Louise Gray decides to track the stories of our five-a-day, from
farm to fruit bowl, and discover the impact that growing fruits and
vegetables has on the planet. Through visits to farms, interviews
with scientists and trying to grow her own, she digs up the dirt
behind organic potatoes, greenhouse tomatoes and a glut of
courgettes.In each chapter, Louise answers a question about a
familiar item in our shopping basket. Is plant protein as good as
meat? Is foraged food more nutritious? Could bees be the answer to
using fewer chemicals? How do we save genetic diversity in our
apples? Are digital apps the key to reducing food waste? Is
gardening good for mental health? And is the symbol of clean
eating, the avocado, fuelling the climate crisis? As pressure grows
via social media to post pictures of food that ticks all the boxes
in terms of health and the environment, these food stories from the
author of the award-winning The Ethical Carnivore are also a
personal story of motherhood and the realisation that nothing is
ever perfect.
