Rethinking how food is grown and produced

Food Systems of the Future examines how climate change and population growth are shaping concerns about food supply, alongside scientific efforts to improve production and sustainability. Its focus is a set of debated questions in food science: genetically modified crops, processed foods, and the environmental impact of different foods. The book connects agricultural technology with wider choices about how food reaches people and what pressures production places on the environment. Those topics give the volume a practical frame for considering the challenges and possibilities involved in building food systems for the future.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in agriculture and food technology
  • Readers exploring sustainability and the environmental effects of food production
  • Those curious about debates surrounding GM crops and processed foods

Book overview

The world population continues to grow, and sources of food that we have come to depend on are increasingly threatened by climate change. Some people fear that there may come a time when there simply will not be enough food to support the earth's human population. However, scientists have been hard at work developing new technologies and techniques to optimize food production and ensure that the food system will be sustainable for years to come. This volume looks at controversial topics related to the science of food, including genetically modified (GM) crops, processed foods, and the quest to find foods that have less of a negative environmental impact.
