We are what we eat... The Ecologist has set the agenda on food issues for more than 40 years. Through powerful reportage – including undercover investigations – comment and analysis, plus practical guides to ethical purchasing and ‘growing your own’, along with profiles celebrating innovation and championing ‘food pioneers’, this globally respected environmental icon has covered all things food-related in a way few other publications could – or would. Continuing the Ecologist’s reputation of challenging established thinking, the Ecologist Guide To Food is essential reading for anyone interested in knowing the truth behind the packaging and finding out what can be done to counter some of the problems inherent in food production today. Drawing from a unique archive of coverage and using much new material, we delve behind the labels to investigate the often-unpalatable truth about many of the foodstuffs we consume each day. We also look at the alternatives, giving a voice to some of those going against the grain to produce food that is good for us and the planet.

The Ecologist has been setting the environmental agenda for over 40 years bringing the critical issues of our time into the mainstream, through cutting-edge reporting. Drawing on their extensive archives, as well as much new material, the Ecologist Guide to Food delves behind the labels to investigate the often unpalatable truths about the foodstuffs we consume each day.Animal suffering, human rights abuses, the destruction of ecosystems, pollution, waste these are not issues we tend to associate with our food. However, as investigative journalist Andrew Wasley reveals, much of our food comes with a hidden price tag.But does the process of meeting Western demand for well-stocked supermarkets need to be this bleak? What if our mega-farms could harvest crops of 70,000+ vegetables each day and still offer fair pay, good living conditions and even social facilities to their workers? What if drinking coffee could actually have a positive influence on reforestation?As well as uncovering the sometimes shocking practices in existence, this book takes a look at alternatives for the food industry, giving a voice to the positive pioneers going against the grain to produce food that is good for you, good for others and good for the planet.
