IN DEFENSE OF FOOD BIODIVERSITY - THE URBAN NUTRITIONIST

In Defense of Food Biodiversity - The Urban Nutritionist

//

Our plates have never seemed so varied and our groceries so abundant. But could it be that behind this profusion lies a global loss of food biodiversity?

Greatly nostalgic, our urban nutritionist wanted to understand how foods prized by generations of humans could suddenly disappear, but above all, what could have caused their extinction and how this should alarm us.

Without ever dropping his refreshing humour, he retraces five great moments in our food history and their effects on the diversity of our diet. Captivating portraits of foods that were once plentiful but now extinct accompany his findings, as examples of what could happen to the plants and animals we eat today.
