In 2011, carbohydrates provided 63% of the dietary energy intake to the world's population. Historically, carbohydrate-rich diets have been associated with good health and longevity but there has been a move away from traditional carbohydrate-rich diets, with refined carbohydrate taking much criticism for contributing to non-communicable disease. The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the appropriate use of environmentally sustainable carbohydrate-rich foods in the modern diet in developing and developed countries in the context of prevention and treatment of non-communicable disease.

Taking Back Our Food Supply is a rousing call to reverse the devastating juggernaut of the industrial food system by igniting a grassroots local food revolution! Our food supply has been hijacked by an unholy alliance of multinational corporations in big agriculture, big food, and big pharma. This industrial food system is killing us and rapidly destroying the biosphere. Restoring food sovereignty and food security is now the most important and most urgent cause of our time, calling for nothing less than a grassroots revolution. In Taking Back Our Food Supply, Michael Brownlee shows readers how to master the seven steps of building a resilient regional food shed and illustrates how to ignite the local food revolution in their community to a radically increased level of impact, effectiveness, and scale.
