How we live is shaped by how we eat. As a Western society, whose food is farmed or bred in vast and complex global networks, we are increasingly reliant on a precarious system for our food.

Julian Baggini’s How the World Eats argues that it is more urgent than ever that we have a better understanding of how we feed ourselves. His latest book examines cutting edge technologies – new farming methods, cultured meat, genetically modified foods – as well as the ethics and value of ultra processed foods, delving into the best and worst food practices from across the world.
