FOOD SUSTAINABILITY: New book, 'The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food' (Wayne Roberts)

Food security is a topic that is increasingly in the public consciousness. Covering fast food, health food, institutional food, and more, 'The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food' shows how “real food” has become increasingly scarce, dominated as it is in the West by agri-business and supermarkets. In the no-nonsense tone for which these guides are known, Wayne Roberts covers nutrition, health, economics and more. He also gives examples of effective food-ways being developed by individuals, communities, and governments.

An essential guide to this important issue, 'The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food' will appeal to students, food professionals and activists, public health staff and concerned citizens - anyone who aims to understand the world food system and how it can be improved.
