In his latest book, Julian Baggini explores how we grow, make, buy and eat our food around the world, and proposes the principles for a perennial and global philosophy of food.
‘With increasing globalisation of food culture, advances in nutritional sciences, the challenges from ecological crises, there is a growing interest in how we provision our food in a sustainable way, how we share it, and how to eat more tastily and healthily. However, the complexity of our food world makes it a very difficult landscape to travel around. Enter Julian Baggini, who … provides us with a global food philosophy that immensely help us negotiate this difficult terrain’
Ha-Joon Chang, SOAS University of London, author of Edible Economics
‘Baggini’s method is to balance insightful, rational analysis of our disastrous food system with inspiring examples of people who are working to make it better. His particular genius is to level a philosophical gaze across this murky, disjointed complex in order to think the unthinkable: an economically coherent, healthful and compassionate food world’
Pen Vogler, author of Stuffed: A History of Good Food and Hard Times in Britain
