Recenzii
"Together with 37 subject matter experts from interdisciplinary backgrounds, Hawkins critically examines not only humankind’s ecological impact on biodiversity, but also how a loss of biodiversity affects the planet, food production systems, and human health. The book shares practical and truly sustainable solutions that create systemic change (and hope) for a truly sustainable food system that mitigates further damage to a population and planet in peril. […] This book is essential reading for registered dietitians, who, per the Code of Ethics, are mandated to protect public health. This in part can be achieved by understanding, promoting, and envisioning food systems that protect biodiversity, care for the planet, and provide optimum nutrition for all. Furthermore, this interdisciplinary guide to preserving biodiversity would appeal to many readers beyond Registered Dietitians such as educators, hospital employees, farmers, restaurateurs, academics, and anyone invested in sustainable communities and a habitable planet for generations to come."
