Paperback Edition: 1
Winner of the Wainwright Prize 2022, this is an astonishing journey through the past, present and future of food, showing why reclaiming a diverse food culture is vital for our future. Now with a new preface.
From a tiny crimson pear in the west of England to an exploding corn in Mexico, there are thousands of foods that are at risk of being lost for ever. Dan Saladino spans the globe to uncover their stories, meeting the pioneering farmers, scientists, cooks, food producers and indigenous communities who are defending food traditions and fighting for change. Eating to Extinction is about so much more than preserving the past. It is about the crisis facing our planet today, and why reclaiming a diverse food culture is vital for our future.
