The numbers are stark: Of the roughly six thousand different plants once consumed by human beings, only nine remain major staples today. Just three of these--rice, wheat, and corn--now provide fifty percent of all our calories. Dig deeper and the trends are more worrisome still: The source of much of the world's food--seeds--is mostly in the control of just four corporations. Ninety-five percent of milk consumed in the United States comes from a single breed of cow. Half of all the world's cheese is made with bacteria or enzymes made by one company. And one in four beers drunk around the world is the product of one brewer. If it strikes you that everything is starting to taste the same wherever you are in the world, you're by no means alone. This matters: when we lose diversity and foods become endangered, we not only risk the loss of traditional foodways, but also of flavors, smells, and textures that may never be experienced again. And the consolidation of our food has other steep costs, including a lack of resilience in the face of climate change, pests, and parasites. Our food monoculture is a threat to our health--and to the planet. In Eating to Extinction, the distinguished BBC food journalist Dan Saladino travels the world to experience and document our most at-risk foods before it's too late. He tells the fascinating stories of the people who continue to cultivate, forage, hunt, cook, and consume what the rest of us have forgotten or didn't even know existed. Take honey--not the familiar product sold in plastic bottles, but the wild honey gathered by the Hadza people of East Africa, whose diet consists of eight hundred different plants and animals and who communicate with birds in order to locate bees' nests. Or consider murnong--once the staple food of Aboriginal Australians, this small root vegetable with the sweet taste of coconut is undergoing a revival after nearly being driven to extinction. And in Sierra Leone, there are just a few surviving stenophylla trees, a plant species now considered crucial to the future of coffee"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Food |xHistory. |=^A9144 650 0 Food supply |xHistory. |=^A1001806 650 0 Agrobiodiversity. |=^A411313 650 0 Agrobiodiversity conservation. |=^A478081 650 0 Food industry and trade |xEnvironmental aspects. |=^A3301 650 6 Aliments |xHistoire. 650 6 Biodiversité agricole. 650 6 Biodiversité agricole |xConservation. 650 7 HOUSE & HOME / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Agrobiodiversity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01432019 650 7 Agrobiodiversity conservation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00801848 650 7 Food. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00930458 650 7 Food industry and trade |xEnvironmental aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00930876 650 7 Food supply. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00931196 650 7 Food. |2sears 650 7 Food supply. |2sears 650 7 Agricultural ecology. |2sears 650 7 Biological diversity. |2sears 650 7 Food industry. |2sears 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 |i30372017347888 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s30.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5832006
