Our next book selection is “We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate“, by Michael Grunwald
From the author of New York Times bestseller The New New Deal, a groundbreaking piece of reportage from the trenches of the next climate war: the fight to fix our food system.
Humanity has cleared a land mass the size of Asia plus Europe to grow food, and our food system generates a third of our carbon emissions. By 2050, we’re going to need a lot more calories to fill nearly 10 billion bellies, but we can’t feed the world without frying it if we keep tearing down an acre of rainforest every six seconds. We are eating the earth, and the greatest challenge facing our species will be to slow our relentless expansion of farmland into nature. Even if we quit fossil fuels, we’ll keep hurtling towards climate chaos if we don’t solve our food and land problems.
The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 14th at 6:00 PM at the home of Fred and Millie May. If you would like to receive our monthly SWD Book Club Reminder Email, or to let us know if you are coming, please contact Fred & Millie May at fred.may@outlook.com.
