Food is a central obsession in all cultures, nations, the media, and society. Our future supply of food is filled with risk, and history tells us that lack of food leads to war.

Julian Cribb describes a new food system capable of meeting our global needs on this hot and overcrowded planet.

It is not just timely - its message is of the greatest urgency. Audiences include consumers, 'foodies', policymakers, researchers, cooks, chefs and farmers.

Human society is now an autonomous, highly integrated network of technologies, institutions, and belief systems dedicated to the expansion of economic production. Recognizing this allows a radically new interpretation of free market and neoliberal ideology which - far from advocating personal freedom - leads to sacrificing the well-being of individuals for the benefit of the global market.

But after three decades of climate COPs, we are accelerating into a polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality, and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back? Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the future, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media, and our businesses. Anyone asking 'what can each of us do right now to help?' will find inspiration in this practical and important book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contentHidden\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"academicArrowList\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinds new angles on the biggest challenges of our time - the Polycrisis, of which climate change is one symptom – by standing further back, digging deeper, joining up the issues and learning from failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTackles the root causes, rather than just the symptoms, of our climate and ecological emergency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpowering and hopeful for readers: practical tips on how to maximise your impact, and be part of the evolution that humanity so urgently needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe engaging style makes overlooked but essential concepts dazzlingly clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpowering for anyone who has been feeling hopelessly small in the face of such huge global problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked full of perspective-forcing, jaw-dropping and illuminating diagrams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"signed","offer_id":55162021970306,"sku":"9781009440066","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"unsigned","offer_id":55162022003074,"sku":"9781009440066","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781009440066i.jpg?v=1732717768"},{"product_id":"migration-and-displacement-in-a-changing-climate","title":"Migration and Displacement in a Changing Climate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides insight into the impact of climate change on human mobility - including both migration and displacement - by synthesizing key concepts, research, methodology, policy, and emerging issues surrounding the topic. It illuminates the connections between climate change and its implications for voluntary migration, involuntary displacement, and immobility by providing examples from around the world. The chapters use the latest findings from the natural and social sciences to identify key interactions shaping current climate-related migration, displacement, and immobility; predict future changes in those patterns and methods used to model them; summarize key policy and governance instruments available to us to manage the movements of people in a changing climate; and offer directions for future research and opportunities.

Democracy for a Sustainable World explains why global democracy and global sustainable development must be achieved and why they can only be achieved jointly. It recounts the obstacles to participatory democratic global governance and describes how they can be overcome through a combination of right representation and sortition, starting with linking and scaling innovative local and regional sustainability experiments worldwide. Beginning with a visit to the birthplace of democracy in ancient Athens, a hillside called the Pnyx, James Bacchus explores how the Athenians practiced democratic participation millennia ago. He draws on the successes and shortfalls of Athenian democracy to offer specific proposals for meeting today's challenges by constructing participatory democratic global governance for full human flourishing in a sustainable world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the relationship between democracy and sustainable development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how democratic global governance can be constructed through a combination of global sortition and right representation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how bottom-up grass roots sustainable development networks worldwide are creating new forms of democratic participation while working for sustainable development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55245538099586,"sku":"9781009583213","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/2031\/7597\/files\/9781009583213i.jpg?v=1748792725"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgebookshop.co.uk\/collections\/environment.oembed?page=2","provider":"Cambridge University Press Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
