What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Should we all be vegan? Is organic food worth the extra cost? Which foods have the fewest harmful pesticides, and the lowest environmental impact? What exactly is a healthy diet? Can we fix our broken food system?

Our food system has become toxic: toxic to us, and toxic to our planet. Industrial use of pesticides, vast monocrops, ultra-processed foods and unmitigated waste is built into a system that is destroying the environment and our health.

But there are solutions, and lots of them. While governments stall, we all need to take responsibility for what we consume. We all have a part to play in fixing our food system.

With insight and humour, Dave Goulson cuts through the information overload to examine the tricky questions we all face, and offers an optimistic vision of a better, more stable future.

Critics Review

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.
Chris Goodall
Clear, practical and accessible, a clarion call for more healthy, affordable and enjoyable diets that are better both for ourselves and for the planet
