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, WeRe Going To Need A Lot More Calories To Fill Nearly 10 Billion Bellies, But We CanT 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, WeLl Keep Hurtling Towards Climate Chaos If We DonT Solve Our Food And Land Problems.In This Rollicking, Shocking Narrative, Grunwald Shows How The World, After Decades Of Ignoring The Climate Problem At The Center Of Our Plates, Has Pivoted To Making It Worse, Embracing Solutions That Sound Sustainable But Could Make It Even Harder To Grow More Food With Less Land. But He Also Tells The Stories Of The Dynamic Scientists And Entrepreneurs Pursuing Real Solutions, From A JungleTough Miracle Crop Called Pongamia To GeneticallyEdited Cattle Embryos, From Impossible Whoppers To A NonPolluting Pesticide That Uses The Technology Behind The Covid Vaccines To Constipate Beetles To Death. ItS An Often Infuriating Saga Of Lobbyists, Politicians, And Even The Scientific Establishment Making Terrible Choices For Humanity, But ItS Also A Hopeful Account Of The People Figuring Out What Needs To Be DoneAnd Trying To Do It.Michael Grunwald, Bestselling Author Of The Swamp And The New New Deal, Builds His Narrative Around A Brilliant, Relentless, Unforgettable Food And Land Expert Named Tim Searchinger. He Chronicles SearchingerS Uphill Battles Against Bad Science And Bad Politics, Both Driven By The Overwhelming Influence Of Agricultural Interests. And He Illuminates A Path That Could Save Our Planetary Home For Ourselves And Future GenerationsThrough Better Policy, Technology, And Behavior, As Well As A New Land Ethic Recognizing That Every Acre Matters.
