£11.99

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.

Food is life but our food system is killing us.

Our global food system lies in the tight grip of a handful of powerful players who are prioritising profit at any cost – despite rising obesity, ill-health and a worsening climate crisis – aided by governments who are letting them get away with it.

Stuart Gillespie, a veteran of four decades at the frontline of global food policy, reveals how we can transform it into a system that can nourish all of us, as well as the planet we live on. Both unflinching exposé and revolutionary call to arms, Food Fight maps a way towards a new system and reveals the solutions within our grasp.
