How can we eat well without harming the planet?

The way we produce food today is damaging people and nature alike. Modern, intensive farming systems producing pesticide-laced, ultra-processed foods are bad for us and bad for the planet.

But there is cause for hope. From supporting more sustainable farming systems and modifying what we eat to wasting less and growing more ourselves, Dave Goulson shows that change is possible and individual choices do matter – even while governments fail to act.

Packed with surprising insights and practical guidance, Eat the Planet Well cuts through the information overload to help us navigate the tricky decisions we face every day, and offers an optimistic vision for a healthier future.

Critics Review

This is a brilliant guide for the ethical eater, which shows how we can all make a difference through our food choices. Our food landscape is a mess, and we desperately need scientific voices like Dave Goulson to help us navigate it
Tim Spector
Everyone needs to read this book. Brilliantly explained, scientifically driven and yet pragmatic and personal – this is about the choices we need to make now, and every day, to secure the future we want for our children.
Isabella Tree
In this compact and highly readable book, Dave Goulson shows us how we should change diets and our use of farming land in order to build a better, more resilient world while also improving human health... An excellent primer on topics that have been surprisingly poorly covered.
