How Food Can Save the World

An eloquent argument that food — not money or technology — should be the organizing principle of cities and public life, tracing how what we eat has shaped urban form, trade, empire and social relations; it exposes how industrial supply chains, colonial commodity systems and modern planning have obscured food’s central role while producing environmental damage and inequality, and it calls for rethinking infrastructure and policy to put kitchens, farmers, markets and care at the heart of planning, relocalize supply chains, and redesign food systems to be sustainable, nourishing and just.
