The next Book Club will be Tuesday, November 4 (don’t forget to vote!).
Join us in conversation around inspiring and thought provoking climate-related books. Understanding the world around us and how we can build a safer, healthier, and regenerative future is of utmost importance. Exploring these ideas and opportunities together creates the mutual support and team spirit we need. And it’s more fun!
We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate
By Michael Grunwald (384 pages) - Humanity has already cleared land the size of Asia and Europe to grow food, and agriculture now generates a third of global carbon emissions. By 2050, we’ll need to feed nearly 10 billion people, but we can’t keep tearing down a rainforest acre every few seconds without pushing the planet deeper into climate chaos. Michael Grunwald shows how flawed solutions, like biofuels and vertical farms, are worsening the crisis, while highlighting scientists and entrepreneurs developing new crops, cattle, and safer pesticides. The book argues that better policy, smarter technology, and a new land ethic could save our food system, and our future.
