Vaclav Smil
We have never had to feed as many people as we do today. And yet, we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. As a result, in our economic, political, and everyday choices, we take for granted and fail to prioritize the thing that makes all our lives possible: food.
In this ambitious, myth-busting book, Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today: why are some of the world’s biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations? Why do we waste so much food and how can we solve that? Could the whole planet go vegan and be healthy? Should it? He explores the global history of food production to understand why we farm some animals and not others, why most of the world’s calories come from just a few foodstuffs, and how this might change in the future.
How to Feed the World is the data-based, rigorously researched guide that offers solutions to our broken global food system.

Kritikerstimmen
“Smil takes readers on a scholarly and accessible exploration of the history, key concepts, and important questions about what we eat…[How to Feed the World] is a necessary book for readers seeking authoritative information on the future of successfully nourishing the world’s growing population.” —Booklist
“Concise and erudite… How to Feed the World is weighted with statistics, but there is something light and irresistible about the way Smil structures his argument and propels his narrative… After 200 pages of cold realism, it is a relief to discover that all those numbers add up to a future in which we can be hopeful.” — The Lancet
“[Smil] delves into the details of global food production [and]… recommends focusing on reducing food waste through flexible pricing and innovations in packaging design, as well as improving sustainability by decreasing meat consumption. [He] makes a convincing case for “doing more with less.'"—Publishers Weekly
"Vaclav Smil is my favorite author."—Bill Gates
