THE NEXT BIG IDEA BOOK CLUB'S 'MUST READ' PICK
A BBC FOOD PROGRAMME'S 'FOOD BOOK OF 2025'
'Scholarly, literate and deeply moving, this isn't just a good read, it's an essential reference for anyone hoping to understand the food system, why it's broken and how we might imagine fixing it' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
Food is life but our food system is killing us. Designed in a different century for a different purpose - to mass-produce cheap calories to prevent famine - it's now generating obesity, ill-health and driving the climate crisis. We need to transform it into a system that can nourish all eight billion of us and the planet we live on.
In Food Fight, Stuart Gillespie reveals how the system we once relied upon for global nutrition has warped into the very thing making us sick. From its origins in colonial plunder through to the last few decades of neoliberalism, the system now lies in the tight grip of a handful of powerful transnationals who are playing for profit at any cost - aided by governments who let them get away with it. With his eye trained on the future and on solutions within our grasp, Gillespie also celebrates the impact of success stories from around the world, driven by remarkable citizens, social movements, policy makers and politicians. These case studies offer hope that, by organising and learning, we can build a better food future for ourselves and for our children.
Both unflinching exposé and revolutionary call to arms, Food Fight maps a way towards a new system that gives us hope for a future of global health and justice.

About the Author
Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our dysfunctional food system for the past forty years. Stuart worked with a range of UN agencies across the world, before joining the International Food Policy Research Institute in 1999. Here he founded the Regional Network on AIDS, Livelihoods and Food Security, the Transform Nutrition research consortium, a flagship Agriculture for Nutrition and Health programme and the Stories of Change initiative, amongst a host of other interventions in public food and nutrition policy. Stuart's newsletter, Food Fight Files, tackles the political and commercial drivers of food injustice and malnutrition and what can and should be done about them.
