Camila Perussello Food for Thought All Books sku-586362099

Food for Thought: Planetary Healing Begins on Our Plate is a paperback by food engineer Camila Perussello, PhD, listed in All Books under SKU sku-586362099. It asks how 80 billion farmed animals can be fed each year while nearly one billion people are food insecure.

The book examines the social and environmental costs of eating animals, linking animal-based food production to violence, discrimination, climate change and disease. It covers animal suffering, human rights violations, environmental damage, diet-related illness, pandemics, food insecurity and consumer manipulation.

Perussello challenges claims about "humane" and "sustainable" animal foods, including organic milk, grass-fed meat and cage-free eggs, and compares production systems, regions and animal welfare labels. The book ends with a guide to vegan living, including potential challenges and personal benefits.

It argues that consumer choices can help change industry and society, and is written for readers and professionals interested in food production, animal welfare, justice and sustainability.
