Abstract

Be ready to discover the world behind our food. Where is our food produced? And how is it distributed around our world? Like a fly on the wall, photographer and filmmaker Kadir Van Lohuizen follows the entire process in this book, in Kenya, the USA, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, China and the Netherlands, his home country. The large scale and efficiency of most food companies evoke as much respect as questions: what are the effects of these production and consumption chains on the planet? And how future-proof are they? Food for thought, indeed. In this book, Van Lohuizen showcases his impressions, in addition to facts and figures behind the global food industry and unique infographics.

Abstract

Nicola Twilley's 'Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves' explores the profound impact of refrigeration on the global food system. The book delves into the history, technological advancements, and societal implications of refrigeration. Twilley highlights how refrigeration has transformed food production, distribution, and consumption, making perishable goods available year-round and reshaping diets and economies worldwide. The narrative covers various facets of the cold chain, from refrigerated warehouses to the development of domestic fridges, and examines the environmental and health consequences of this technology. Aimed at a broad audience, including food enthusiasts, environmentalists, and general readers, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the invisible infrastructure that underpins modern food logistics.

Abstract

This book explores the fragility of ecosystems that support food production and advocates for alternative scientific research directions and bold public policies to address potential agricultural crises in hostile environments. It presents prospective analyses using the concept developed by philosopher François Jullien, encouraging new organizational structures in agronomy and environmental research to foster creativity and innovation. Through three essays, the authors propose scenarios and solutions for future food crises, including a hypothetical 2084 scenario of extreme climate conditions. The work targets researchers, policymakers, and those interested in sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to inspire novel approaches to preserve food ecosystems and prepare for systemic crises.
