Krátky popis
A captivating and unexpected journey through the history of
humankind's relationship with food, with an urgent message for our
times. We live in an age of mass extinction. The earth's
biodiversity is decreasing at a faster rate than ever.Industrial
agriculture and the standardization of taste are not only wiping
out many edible plants, but also the food cultures, histories and
livelihoods that go with them. Inspired by a global project to
collect and preserve foods that are at risk of extinction, Dan
Saladino sets out to encounter these endangered foods. Each food
tells a story - some of them moving and personal, some of them
urgent and timely - and collectively they span the history of
civilisation and touch on many of the biggest issues of our time,
from climate change to global inequality.From a humble pea found on
an island on the south coast of America to a mysterious cheese
found in the mountains of the Balkans, from the wild honey eaten
for centuries by the nomadic tribes of Tanzania, to a rare citrus
fruit in the mountain forests of India that is the genetic ancestor
of all the world's oranges, each ingredient transports us to a
different time and place. Spanning the globe in his search for the
most endangered foods, Dan Saladino takes us on a thrilling tour of
a disappearing world, and reveals the battles being fought for the
future of the planet.
