Ravenous

Henry Dimbleby knows how to think big about one thing we all have in common: food, and the need to eat. Having been pulled into the pandemic task force that looked at supply chains and kept food on the shelves at our most crucial hour, Ravenous is a manifesto and action plan rooted in his extensive research and lived experience. Ravenous responds to the critical need to balance the interconnected demands of the environment, health and nutrition, the cost of living and food security - it's an urgent conversation that embraces everything, from land use to education to levelling up to trade. Dimbleby takes you behind the scenes to show the mechanisms that act together, accidentally or otherwise, to make us eat what we eat. He explains why the food system has created a global crisis of diet-related disease and environmental destruction. But not only that - he also shows that these outcomes are not inevitable; that we do not need to remain trapped in this system.
