In defense of food biodiversity
Description of the book In defense of food biodiversity
Our plates have never seemed so varied and our grocery stores so overflowing. But could it be that behind this abundance lies a global loss of food biodiversity?
A great nostalgic, urban nutritionist Bernard Lavallée wanted to understand how foods prized by generations of humans could suddenly disappear, but above all, what could have caused their extinction and why this should alarm us.
Never losing his refreshing sense of humor, he traces five key moments in our food history and their effects on the diversity of our diet. Captivating portraits of once abundant but now extinct foods accompany his findings, providing examples of what could happen to the plants and animals we now live off.
