Food security / by Roberts, Kathryn,1990-(CARDINAL)417126;
Includes bibliographical references and index."For a number of reasons, the global food supply is not as stable as it has been historically.

The End of Plenty. by Bourne, Joel K.,Jr.(CARDINAL)410573;
When the demographer Robert Malthus (1766-1834) outlined the brutal relationship between food and population, he never imagined the success of modern scientific agriculture. In the mid-twentieth century, an unprecedented agricultural advancement known as the Green Revolution brought hybrid seeds, chemical fertilizers, and improved irrigation that drove the greatest population boom in history but left ecological devastation in its wake. In The End of Plenty, environmental journalist Joel K. Bourne Jr. puts our race to feed the world in dramatic perspective. With a skyrocketing world population and tightening global grain supplies spurring riots and revolutions, humanity must produce as much food in the next four decades as it has since the beginning of civilization to avoid a Malthusian catastrophe. Yet climate change could render half our farmland useless by century's end. Bourne takes readers from his family farm to international agricultural hotspots to introduce the new generation of farmers and scientists engaged in the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.

The last supper : the coming food crisis and how to survive it / by Kass, Sam,1980-authorauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut(CARDINAL)353572;
"A former senior food policy advisor to President Obama breaks down how changing the way we eat can help fix the climate crisis, from rethinking daily habits to investing in new technology. As a chef in high-end restaurants, and later, in the home of thenSenator Barack and Michelle Obama, Sam Kass read a lot about how eating organic and buying local was the key to remaking a food system otherwise built on climate-change-causing petroleum. But when he followed the Obamas into the White House, he realizedsomething: While it's easy to identify the problems in our spoiled food system, fixing it is not as simple as getting your eggs from the farmers' market. Now investing in startups trying to solve the environmental and human challenges of climate change infood and agriculture. In The Last Supper, Kass shares everything he's learned, simplifying it all down to what he calls "The Core Principle": Maximize nutrient production while minimizing environmental damage. He lays out an accessible, action-based planto save the environment, and in turn, ourselves, based on four pillars of change: Culture: shifting the way we think about and approach the environment as individuals is the foundation of broader change Policy and legislation: the limited but important role of policy and how change is made on a governmental level and what we can do about it Business: How to change the businesses that provide the food we eat as the only path to change our food system Technology: a deep dive into the future with the new and innovative technologies researchers are using to save the environment, from CRISPR and Loam Bio to the magic of mycelium and the secret weapon that is regenerative farming Through anecdotes, interviews, and an astounding amount of research, The Last Supper gives us the tools we need to make a difference"-- Provided by publisher.

He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionizing our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs and chemicals; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how to transform not only our food system but our entire relationship to the living world"--
